The reassembled and checked everything down to every single bolt because they were using too much fancy beading edge technology that was not reliable for reuse. Even if they connect the landing gear to the automatic system to make it unnamed, they would have to disassemble and reassemble each time. Reuse was a lie, or at least a poetic licence.
The motor had like 30 blades and a few of them developed cracks each time, so you have to open it, inspect each blade and replace the bad ones. IIRC Feynman was very afraid
one of them would break and cause another crew lost. Luckily it didn't happen, but they have a last chance in Artemis.
The metal encase of the solid rockets would get deformed in the splash, so they have to make them round again.
The heat shield has to be completely replaced by design.
