    How reusable? NASA had recoverable boosters How does math and physics change based on goals?

          No, the constants and dynamics in that flight regime are just not well understood.

              Yeah, broad strokes, but not super high fidelity stuff.

                lmao people act like they can’t comprehend that we haven’t solved all physics yet
