I wouldn't trust anything that Elon is involved with. I believe SpaceX won
 atleast one contract against Blue Origin during an interim senators term
 who met with him when their application was awarded outstanding despite not
 meeting the level to qualify at all. The NASA director said he would hold
 SpaceX to deliver before releasing any further funds during Bidens term but
 he has been removed. Has any re-usability beyond what the space shuttle
 achieved actually been demonstrated?
