    Reusability makes sense only if there are several launches, like dozens or hundreds of them. Otherwise investing in reusable tech doesn't make financial sense. SLS is supposed to fly only a few times in the short term. NASA is primarily not a rocket manufacturer, they build rockets only when no suitable alternative is available in the market. If SpaceX Starship comes online, then NASA will happily stop building SLS and buy rides on Starship like how they do with Falcon 9 now.

    Too bad that NASA are effectively being dwarfed by SpaceX when it comes to rocket development. They're making no actual progress with their recycled rocket that isn't reusable. It's pretty much already obsolete at this point. Delays on delays on top of more delays, years late and will probably be beaten by Starship at this point.

    The larger the rocket, the more absolute mass it has, the more fuel it has to have to escape gravity. After a particular point, the diminishing returns become so great that you cannot have enough fuel to get enough mass off the ground. While it is important to think outside the box, it is also important to understand that a great deal of very intelligent and very innovative people have been involved with spaceflight since the 50s And a great deal of what appears to be thinking outside of the box is simply coming up with an idea that has already been discarded after being fairly thoroughly explored.
