Got an idea for next month's banner?
True, they’ve recovered at least one booster fully intact (since ditching the helicopter-hook idea), but no reflights yet. I guess they want to do some very thorough structural validation before attempting to refly.
Plus, their launch cadence hasn’t exactly been rapid over the last 2-3 years. Hopefully they can start picking up the pace and that’ll in turn accelerate the progress of their Electron reuse program.
