agreed
So let me get this straight: We load up the first stage with an extra 10,000 lbs of propellant to save a $20,000,000 booster while saying “no” to a paying customer, who wanted to give you $100,000,000 to launch his satellite. Trading launch mass from paying customers to “saving” the first booster makes no sense.
This makes no sense. Why would I offload a satellite payload from a customer who would pay me $100,000,000 in exchange for saving a $20,000,000 booster?
