As opposed to what...? Reusable?
No I mean, you can land the rocket at the launch pad refuel it then place a second stage on the rocket then launch it again.

Opposed to recoverable. I'm sure you know that a lot of the time people call recoverable rockets reusable. Joe's rocket can actually be flown again instead of the parts just landing.

Yes,
I used to make landable Rockets that can't be reused to practice, then I made my JR-M12 rocket which was my first fully reusable rocket.

Joe here has no way to put a new payload on the rocket, since he does not have a docking port on top of stage 2.

Edit: in fact, I’m curious how does he reattaches stage 2 to stage 1.

Because if you look at the separator

It has 2 docking ports
So you can remove the old separator and attach a new one I'll show you let me get some screenshots

Yeah, I noticed the docking ports, but since you can’t reattach stage 2 to the separator, you can’t reuse it. You need to spawn a whole new stage 2.

And I still see no way to mount a new payload on the rocket.

I think it may just be a 1st stage reusable rocket. Looks like he's launching the 2nd stage as a new rocket with the payload and seperator already assembled. Then he just attaches the whole upper part of the rocket by the ports on the seperator.

Notwithstanding that it's only about 70% reusable, you've all missed what I meant.


This is the JR-VII a reusable rocket

I actually mean Reusable
First he says it is reusable, then goes back on it by calling it reusable.

Although, yeah. I'd love to see him actually reuse it, since that landing looks like a solo test flight rather than an actual full delivery because it's back on the pad with 84% left in the tanks.

I haven't launched it in a while

These are the first pictures k have of it but I can do a boost back burn refuel if and then relaunch it.

You built a new payload on the second stage in ten Build screen then attach it to the 1st stage

Yeah, now we know that only half of it is “truly reusable”
Right I've had enough
I make something that I call a Ariane 5
People moan at me

I make something that can be reused
People moan at me


I ment to say partially reusable.

No, you didn’t.

You even said: “I ACTUALLY MEAN REUSABLE”
You didn’t mean to say “half reusable”
I'm not responding now because all I'm going to get is people moaning at me.

I wrote something by mistake.

Ok let me
Re write it


JR-VII
Is a Partially reusable rocket like the F-9

It can land then be re used with a new second stage

The payload has to be built in the Build screen on a new second stage then you can dock it with the 1st stage then launch it again.

There you go? Are you happy?

I hope those little drone cube thingys have enough fuel to top up the tanks on that first stage...
