I'm trying to find an article about some b____ in Congress (which house, I'm not sure) who tried to get SpaceX dumped because the US gov't shouldn't be spending money on a booster and not get a new one instead of one that had flown before. Yes, she was that stupid in her lying, not sure if that was Cantwell. In 2017 there was a bogus "oversight" report claiming the Falcon 9 had defects that needed to be addressed. Since then, SpaceX has landed about 82 boosters, and the current recordholder has been landed and recovered ten times. Only 62 of the boosters have been reflown (including 9 encores by the one recovered earlier in May), so, the recovery rate by and large isn't perfect, but far exceeds anyone who's ever tried this. :^)
