Affordable reusability has become a critical component of spaceflight. The shuttle was largely reusable, but the cost of maintenance between flights was very high. In some cases it would have been cheaper to make new parts for each launch...

Took more work to make F9 booster reuse cost-effective than went into recovering it in the first place. This is an important point.
Things finally clicked into place with Block 5. My hat is off to everyone at SpaceX, NASA, Space Force, FAA & suppliers who helped make it happen.
