The first stage is significantly larger and therefore more expensive than the second.
My guess is the first full-reuse rocket you'll see will be the SSTO BFR.

Consumers are just as bad at predicting the future as everyone else. Market research is great for making iterative improvements or learning what people are frustrated with, but it's data, not knowledge, and definitely not prognostication.

I really don't get why he doesn't just carry a reliable GPS tracker with him. Seems so much easier than arguing with people online.

> Truthfully, if Europe ever did develop a reusable rocket, one that could fly all the missions in a year, this would be unhelpful politically. What would the engine and booster factories sprinkled across Europe do if they built one rocket and then had 11 months off? The member states value the jobs too much.
It feels incredibly short-term to me. How many jobs will be created by opening up spaceflight at 1/100 the cost? How many new types of satellites, technology, human transport will be created?

Try https://camelcamelcamel.com. It shows you the price history of Amazon items and can alert you when they fall.

This proposal is generally for sites which are behind an edge network like Cloudflare. In that case your remote IP is the IP of the provider, not your actual server.
We build many of the new products Cloudflare releases (like Workers and 1.1.1.1) in Austin. I'm looking for a product manager, or an engineer who would like to become a product manager, to work on many of our developer-facing products. You will have a lot of responsibility, a lot of ownership, and the ability to have an impact on how people build things on the Internet.
Shoot me an email -> zack at cloudflare
