@arstechnica I remember 20-25 years ago when NewSpace advocates encouraged reusable rockets, it would make people look crosseyed at you.

Now that SpaceX demonstrated it on orbital class rockets, everyone sees the point. Before SpaceX jumped in with enough money, it was proven on smaller rockets by DC-X, Armadillo, Masten Space and Unreasonable Rocket.
