摘要
Elon Musk has been dreaming of driving down SpaceX booster turnaround times to less than 24 hours for years now. However, SpaceX’s record today still stands at a whopping 51 days. So, why does it still take so long for SpaceX to reuse their boosters even after a decade of innovation and improvement? One reason for the long turnaround time is the fact that SpaceX lands their boosters on the ocean. As a result, it often takes weeks just to get the booster back to the launch site. Aside from logistical delays, SpaceX is also often limited by weather, the FAA, and the tedious refurbishment process. This video discusses how SpaceX reuses a Falcon 9 booster and future of rocket reusability with starship.
