So I'm excited to see this tech develop but I wonder how much of a market there really is for super-heavy lifters. I can't wait to see a future version where they land the various stages rather than just dumping them into the sea. The first Falcon Heavy launch was super impressive.

SpaceX already has the Falcon Heavy and there have only been a handful of launches, primarily military.

I guess the argument is it'll open up new opportunities but will this really replace the Falcon 9 workhorse, which at this point is I believe the most successful launch system in history?

Won't someone make a fully reusable smaller launch vehicle that'll suit commercial needs?
