SpaceX has been at the forefront of revolutionizing space travel by focusing on reusability to drive down the cost of rocket launches. While the company has successfully landed and reused the rocket boosters of its Falcon 9 rocket, the second stage boosters have remained a challenge in terms of recovery and reusability.
With the upcoming Starship project, SpaceX aims to address this issue by making both the Super Heavy booster and the upper Starship rocket and spacecraft recoverable and reusable. This advancement is expected to transform rocket launches into a process more akin to flying airplanes, as stated by SpaceX COO Gwynne Shotwell during a recent conference.
