Tory’s words of wisdom on reuse seem silly today. SpaceX just launched its sixth rocket in eight days. That’s as many as ULA has in 17 months.
Michael Sheetz@thesheetztweetz· Apr 17, 2020ULA CEO Tory Bruno's view on the economics of reusing rockets by propulsive flyback (the way SpaceX does):
"Our estimate remains around 10 flights as a fleet average to achieve a consistent breakeven point ... and that no one has come anywhere close."

It even took a lot of effort for me to convince everyone on my team in the beginning that reuse, particularly via propulsive landing, was the right move!
