In the early days, rockets were designed as disposable machines. Quite a hefty investment to toss aside! The Saturn 🪐 V rocket alone cost a staggering $400 million in 1960s currency, used only once. But then came Elon Musk, envisioning a different future. He saw the potential to reuse these rockets, changing the game altogether!

@Theraviranjankr That's complete fanboy nonsense. Reusable launch craft have been around for decades. Including, most famously, the space shuttle program, which was initially designed two years before Musk was even born.
