Rockets used to be thrown away after a single flight.
In 2008, SpaceX had failed three times. Its fourth launch was, in Elon Musk's words, "the last money that we had." It reached orbit.

My extension has one user who generated 2,720 AI replies with it. Then his card failed and stripe cancelled him. He didnt leave. My billing did. Fixing the emails today, would have been nice to know 3 months ago 😅
