Right, especially when SpaceX caught another booster and was testing a new ship variant that still started up normally. And Blue's ambitious launch ramp up requires booster reuse.

People really want a SpaceX competitor and are pretending it's here. Meanwhile, 8 Falcons have launched this year (a 9th is scheduled for today), including 4 customer launches.
