 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.
