SpaceX has a hard time letting go of its rockets.
A big part of the mission of Elon Musk's commercial space company is to drive down the cost of accessing space by making the rockets that get us there good for more than just one use. The company has achieved that goal by recovering and reusing a handful of its Falcon 9 rockets. This week it may even be able to recover a rocket that it was prepared to let sink to a watery grave.
