Lower costs of manufacturing (standardized parts, reusability and vertical integration, labour) The only spacecraft currently flying that is capable of returning significant amounts of cargo to earth: burns liquid rocket fuel, partially reusable, capable of upright landing, nearly 50 launches as of october 2017, falcon heavy. In development: delayed because of falcon 9 newest phase is capable of what would have been the first phase of falcon heavy, 2 core stags burning liquid fuel. Orbital debris: make a table of earth orbits and their altitudes.
