SpaceX reused Falcon9

At 6:27 p.m.ET, a Falcon booster first launched nearly a year ago fired the same nine engines to thunder from pad 39A and propel a second mission on its way to orbit, something no rocket has done before.

Less than nine minutes later, the booster stuck its second landing on a robotic “drone ship” stationed offshore — the ninth time SpaceX has landed a rocket.

The booster may be in good enough shape to fly again, but Musk said SpaceX may offer it for display somewhere in the Cape Canaveral area because of its historical significance.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.
