Landing a rocket that already flew 7 other times before? A payload fairing that already flew 1.5 times before? Booo-riiing.

Seriously though, it's amazing how SpaceX normalized launch vehicle reusability.

I can't wait till they make second stage landing and reusing boring.

That would mean Starship right? Because the Falcon second stage is never going to land.

What is the over/under for Starship landing regularly? 5 years?

Landing intact, or landing like the last starship model just did a few weeks ago?
