Re: STS comparison
"I don't think that the comparison of the STS with the Falcon 9 is valid; the STS had to cope with re-entry but the Falcon 9 doesn't, which will make a big difference in the refurbishment costs."
Well, it does have to cope with reenty - that's what the third burn is for.
It doesn't have to cope with reentry from orbital speeds however...
