If SpaceX can deliver what they're claiming in terms of refurb time/cost then that will be something to celebrate. But projects have a way of revealing unexpected challenges right at the last moment. I'm going to hold off the champagne until a refurbished booster actually flies.



That so negative. Of course they don't do this all in one go, it is incremental, step by step to get it to work. And each step is one closer to that goal and something to be happy about. If there are 'unexpected challenges right at the last moment' that's a real pity but those will be met just like all the unexpected challenges along the way. Yes, it's difficult, not it does not seem to be so impossibly difficult or different from what they've done to date that we should assume that it will not work. It will work, the bigger question is when.
