Reusable launch system

 * Article covers the essence of reusable rocket launch systems. It covers the idea and what companies have been successful in developing and implementing the technology for spaceflight. While although historical context from multiple perspectives was covered throughout the paper, the issue with the article was in fact that it offered no sort of future prediction or even impact on the industry from the implementation of reusable rockets.

Reusable spacecraft
This article covers significant extent of spacecraft vehicle design in order to create reusable spacecraft. The article does so in a analysis covering specific aspects of the flight mission that are looked into during design. The article also goes into an explanation of attempts to reuse spacecraft and failures arising, giving an example of the Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster. The article could utilize a better explanation for the reasoning behind utilizing reusable spacecraft design and its importance in the future. While the topic in general is supposed to be rather technical and not biased in any way, the article misses on offering views from perspectives other than U.S companies like Boeing and SpaceX.

SpaceX reusable launch system development program

 * The article offers a very in depth explanation of SpaceX's plan for reusable rocket stages in order to create a more efficient system of launching payloads into orbit and into space in general. The SpaceX plan compasses quite a bit of information but does very little to outline opposing companies and their own ideas as well as listing other stakeholders in the steps taken and the progress. I think that it could more effectively include subcontractors and even other countries such as Russia in which also are shooting for travel to mars.
