Will the Falcon 9 actually be reusable or just refurbish-able like the Space Shuttle?
The Falcon 9. The world’s FIRST reusable rocket. Wait. No it’s not. Do you remember the Space Shuttle? It had those solid rocket boosters and the orbiter, which were both reusable weren’t they?
Well, today we’re going to talk about why the Space Shuttle failed to actually be reusable and wound up being described with a more accurate word, refurbish-able.
People often cite the shortcomings of the Space Shuttle and are quick to point it to SpaceX’s claims of the Falcon 9 booster being reusable.
So today we’re going to look at what it took to get the space shuttle operational between flights, what it takes to get a Falcon 9 operational between flights, and why SpaceX’s first stage boosters take much less of a beating than the Space Shuttle.
We’ll also do a quick reminder of what technologies SpaceX added to their Block 5 booster to hopefully achieve their goal of making a rapidly reusable rocket that can truly be reused 10 times before needing serious refurbishment.
