    Well, shuttle did. But it was different enough of a beast that I'm not sure a lot of the lessons learned there would transfer.

    It had three rocket engines. Reusable up until some genius threw them on SLS

    The first 16 SLS engines (4 flights) are re-furbished/re-built/slightly re-designed Space Shuttle engines.

    So, they are being reused.

    I agree - poor decision to dump them in the drink after flight.

    Reused as a single use is not reusing reusable engines IMHO..

    I completely agree.

    I was just saying the engines have all flown before, and are being re-used.

    Unfortunately, it will be for the last time.

    I hate to nitpick but, he advanced space travel by exactly the amount of time it took him to do. The future has no definable time line.
