Reusable rockets have made the cost of launching rockets very cheap, to the point where it’s feasible to launch new satellites every week if not every other day.
They’ve also gotten the Raptor engines to (mostly) work, which is a full flow staged combustion engine that is more efficient than their Soviet counterparts built… 40 years ago.
Obviously none of the concepts is new, but they’re ahead of everyone else at this time.
