Now if you would be so kind as to answer my original question, since I am genuinely curious.
Do you mind providing additional info on previous reusable rockets. I’m not able to find any successfully reused rockets prior to the Falcon 9.
Edit: The space shuttle doesn’t count as a reusable rocket.
Edit 2: Humanity as only achieved partial reusability so far. SpaceX will likey be the first to achieve full reusability with their Starship. Of course credit for this should not go to Elon but to Gwynne Shotwell and the rest of the SpaceX team.

Take the email comparison, it makes an excellent example for people who know how email works but most people don’t know so it’s not helpful as a comparison to them.
For the layman it’s probably best to stick to a simple description, such as: The Fediverse is community organized social media, it works the same as Reddit/Twitter but it’s not owned by any company. There are a few extra steps when you first sign up, but it’s well worth it for the extra control you get.
So far I’ve found it too be great. Currently using Wallet of Satoshi, which was super easy to set up. Payments are pretty much instant and haven’t had any problems at all.
For now I’m just using it to throw people some sats on nostr for good content, but I’m sure my usage will grow as adoption continues.
The “stick head in sand” method has become extremely popular and it is a serious problem.
