It should be noted that SpaceX priced the rocket believing that they may be able to reduce the price, once they get a good handle on whether they can reuse the first stage. The first stage that flew tonight will be picked up by a ship and brought back to California for inspection.

Also, to have a small rocket that is more cost-effective than a big rocket is a novelty. meaning the current price assumes it is reusable or that the current price assumes it not reusable?
