I mean please, forgive my imperfect analogy and call Edison an asshole, but for the love of all that is good don’t embarrass yourself by claiming electricity is useless.
Reread what I typed, reusablle rockets have their place but they can become rather inefficient or even outright wasteful depending on the circumstances. Remember it takes about a lot of energy to land something coming down from orbit, that means more fuel, more fuel means more weight. And sometimes it better to put that fuel and weight into putting more shit into orbit.
Are you suggesting Falcon 9 is an inefficient rocket?

A Lofstrom loop or a skyhook would be cheaper and safer, honestly
