Re: You'd have to be a Dummy,....
DC-X was demonstrating vertical rocket landing in 1980s
The DC-X first flew, for 59 seconds, on 18 August 1993.
and still need be completely disassembled and rebuilt after landing.
The DC-X, Falcon 9, and New Shepherd all reuse(d) engines without significant rebuilds between flights.
