    REUSABLE ROCKETS ARE HERE, SO WHY IS NASA PAYING MORE TO LAUNCH STUFF
    TO SPACE? (9 MINUTE READ) [7]

    Despite reusable rockets being available nowadays, NASA is still
    paying more than it did 30 years ago to launch missions into orbit.
    Launches are now becoming more routine, with SpaceX sending batches of
    Starlink Internet satellites and other kinds of missions into space
    every few days. NASA is only one of SpaceX's customers - the US
    military is launching more missions than ever before and SpaceX is
    about to become the Pentagon's top launch provider. There's still a
    lot of demand, so prices haven't gone down.
