Isn’t that an old video?
The facebook video was posted an hour ago, and the ethics board was dissolved yesterday after a 1 week or so existence.
The other one is a year old.

Sorry, Kep, but when I saw this post I thought we might be headed for an Anthony Weiner moment.

Hey! SpaceX recovered the fairings, too!!!!

What is the actual economics of recovery? It saves money to reuse pieces but it also costs money to retrieve them and of course for the tech to make them recoverable in the first place (though I guess that's sunk cost?).
I have no doubt they come out ahead because (1) they can charge so much less and (2) why do it otherwise? But what are the actuals for the ROI on reusability? Are they recovering a majority of the cost of the components?
According to Musk, the first stage accounts for 75% of the cost of a Falcon 9.
Does he recoup all of it?
