With this recent flight, SpaceX has not only recovered from the launch failure earlier this year in June, they have also taken another step towards reusing previously discarded boosters.
SpaceX has announced that this first recovered booster will probably not be reused, but will be used for the research needed to perfect a refurbishing program. Boeing continues to press the issue about the selection process in awarding the Nation's next-generation Long Range Strike Bomber contract, and has filed a 133-page brief in response to the Air Force’s filing regarding the company’s protest.
