> while the space shuttle was a technical success in terms of being able to build and operate a reusable upper stage, it was hella expensive
stop repeating this lie, please
shuttle costs per-launch were on falcon 9 level
the only reason for the cost was lack of payloads (!) to spread per-year costs
there's a reason why spaceX now gets far far FAR largest part of its income from Starlink and most most MOST of its launches are Starlink. It's sattelite company with launch side business
