When saying that SpaceX has a completely different position compared to the rest of the aerospace industry, many, especially their competitors, may disagree with this statement.
However, we can prove that this statement is true.
If you’re still skeptical, help me find a company that, for two consecutive years, has launched a vehicle over 60 times like SpaceX and then reused them continuously as they have done.
Certainly not, because such a company has not yet appeared.
Reusing capital is a challenging endeavor in space missions, and for many companies, it remains more of a dream than a reality.
But recently, SpaceX created an insane record, reusing the Falcon 9 booster 17 times.
yep, you heard that’s right. 17 times!
This is a milestone that is not just a numerical victory, it symbolizes a paradigm shift across the entire space exploration industry.
Stay tuned as we dive and more in this episode of Alpha Tech!
Imagine if, every time a plane flew across the Atlantic, it dropped whole sections of itself in midair and fell into the ocean, never to be recovered.
If you wanted to fly back to New York, you’d need another $150 million for a new jet.
Can you imagine how expensive a plane ticket would be? Would anyone be able to afford it? Maybe there’d be a weekly flight where 500 multimillionaires crammed into coach-class seats for $300,000 each, but air travel would certainly be out of reach of ordinary people.
Getting to space takes so much energy that you can’t lift the entire rocket all the way up, you have to drop part of it early. And even getting that piece back is such a huge challenge, both in terms of energy and in terms of avionics, that until now, operational rockets haven’t even tried—they just let the pieces fall into the ocean, burn up in the atmosphere, or drift off into space.
Everyone has always understood how wasteful this is, and since the 1960s people have been trying to figure out how to reuse a rocket. Various test programs have been run, but they never had the power needed to do anything useful in space, most of them never went above a few thousand feet. In 2015, Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin did this with a rocket that reached the edge of space, but that still took only 10% of the energy needed to make orbit and do anything useful.
The Space Shuttle was an ambitious attempt to solve this problem in a real-world system, and though they did manage to reuse most of their launcher, each Shuttle required a slow and costly overhaul between flights, making each flight nearly as costly as an expendable rocket.
