Titanium grid fins is a big reason they recovered the 2 side boosters. This launch and landing will be used to fine tune their simulation parameters.

The block 5 variant is designed for 10 launches in a row with 24hr turnaround. With service, over 100 launches is the goal.

SpaceX has a fairly large collection of graphics cards for simulation purposes see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYA0f6R5KAI and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNqs_S-zEBY
