SpaceX Update: Europe To Challenge Elon Musk’s Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy In Reusable Rocketry

SpaceX Update: Europe To Challenge Elon Musk’s Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy In Reusable Rocketry SPACEX UPDATE: EUROPE TO CHALLENGE ELON MUSK’S FALCON 9, FALCON HEAVY IN REUSABLE ROCKETRY

Nevertheless, we've been limited to expensive single-use spacecraft. Commercial companies like SpaceX and government agencies like NASA are working toward creating reusable spacecraft. SpaceX's Falcon9 and Falcon Heavy are already proving that the concept works, while NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) has yet to take its maiden voyage.
For years, European space companies have been complaining: SpaceX prices are impossible to beat!
In fact, booking a ride on a new Falcon 9 rocket rides costs $62 million while rides on Falcon 9 equipped with reused rockets are going for as low as $50 million. That's less than half the cost of launch on the heavy-lift Ariane 5 from Airbus subsidiary Arianespace, for dual launches to geostationary transfer orbit.
