It isn&#x27;t just another launch, every future launch with this same rocket is now an experiment.  It can&#x27;t have the same reliability rating because a second launch hasn&#x27;t been tested and these aren&#x27;t freshly machined parts.  Every piece in the rocket has experienced a level of wear and tear that previously launched rockets didn&#x27;t have.  Maybe it&#x27;s exceeded the amount of cyclical stress it can handle? Who knows, but most satellite companies wouldn&#x27;t pay the same for a re-used (never before been re-used) rocket as they would for a brand new rocket because of the increased risk.  I would not be surprised if they did in fact give a discount to the payload of anyone who rides this same rocket.  If they don&#x27;t give a discount the only reason someone would purchase a spot on it is for the prestige.<p>Note: The never before been re-used part is probably the most important factor here.  Once they have re-used rockets a few times they&#x27;ll have a reliability factor for these situations.
