CR has came back with a bold new idea: full reusability.
Competetor rockets are only partial reuse, and cost millions of dollars even with a landed first stage.
CR, on the other hand, reuses the whole rocket except the fairing. The fairing is cheap, though.
While a fully-expendable rocket of this size and these components can cost upwards of $50M every launch, and partial reuse ones around $20M, CR Full Reuse can get the reused-stages launch price down to just $700,000 or less, making space much more accessable for startups, and the only necessary expenditures being fuel.
Second stage reusability is a bold idea and only worked when the “second stage” was a shuttle or simliar thing. But now, full reuse is possible.
