    The thing is they’re the only people working on reusable rockets even NASA have given up with the idea (after barely even trying).

    So every milestone increases the likelihood that will get more reusable rockets now that they’ve proven the concept in sound.

      I wouldn’t say they are the only ones, New Glen is supposed to be a partially reusable rocket.

      Others like Rocket Lab are working on smaller “printable” rockets. So there is definitely a lot of innovation going on in the industry.
