And even with 21st technology, 21st century technology, computing, you know, material science, all of these things, it's still a huge that's still the ultimate, you know, the holy grail of spaceflight is reuse and actually being able to reuse your rockets, just put fuel back in them and take back off.

Yeah, you see even the top would look like a space plane.

The top of it literally has wings and it's like a space shuttle because the idea would be reuse this whole vehicle.

Oh, or at least we use the upper stage.

So that's and that was the convention is like this shouldn't be that hard.

Right.

But this is before anyone had ever launched a human into orbit.

How would they shoot?

So again, notice how it literally looks like a plane on top.

Yeah.

Oh, I see.

So that thing jettisons off.

That'd be the upper stage.

Yep.

And this is, this was the convention before, you know, I don't know if we have a year on this yet.

And then the bottom part, what happens to the bottom part?

That's just gone.

That's probably just gone for this.

But, you know, the idea of reusability has been kind of an inherent why no one wants to throw rockets away.

It's just really, really hard to not throw them away.
