Since each Falcon 9 rocket costs about $62 million, according to the company, the ability to reuse them could be a pretty big asset. And Musk also said that the rockets could be reused almost indefinitely, as long as routine maintenance is done.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the only other company with reusable rockets is Jeff Bezos\u2019s Blue Origin. But those aren\u2019t designed to go into orbit like the SpaceX rockets. So this initiative also signals a big step for the space travel industry as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Given the high cost of almost everything involved with space travel and exploration, it was essential that companies come up with <a href=\"https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2015\/03\/coupons-and-discounts-for-small-business.html\" >smart ways to cut costs<\/a>. Otherwise all of those grand plans held by Musk and other entrepreneurs, like building colonies on Mars, would simply cost too much.<\/p>\n<h3>How Can\u00a0You Repurpose Office Supplies and\u00a0Equipment?<\/h3>\n<p>Reusing or finding new purposes for expensive equipment or other resources can be a great strategy for businesses looking to make smart financial decisions back here on planet Earth too. You probably don&#8217;t have any $62 million rockets on the books. But the more you\u2019re able to repurpose office supplies and\u00a0equipment, the more your business can save to put toward its larger goals.<\/p>\n<p><small><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/new-york-dec-14-2016-tesla-538677613?src=bSuxMimPXYWOG_lGV8BS-g-1-15\" >Elon Musk<\/a> Photo via Shutterstock<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n<p>This article, &#8220;<a href='https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2017\/01\/repurpose-office-supplies.html'>What Can Elon Musk Teach Your Business About Repurposing (Watch)<\/a>&#8221; was first published on <a href='https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/'>Small Business Trends<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?a=IS8TKGjO8d0:ZZb5hGyF0jg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?i=IS8TKGjO8d0:ZZb5hGyF0jg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?a=IS8TKGjO8d0:ZZb5hGyF0jg:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?a=IS8TKGjO8d0:ZZb5hGyF0jg:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?i=IS8TKGjO8d0:ZZb5hGyF0jg:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?a=IS8TKGjO8d0:ZZb5hGyF0jg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?i=IS8TKGjO8d0:ZZb5hGyF0jg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/SmallBusinessTrends\/~4\/IS8TKGjO8d0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,72],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-green-business","category-small-business-growth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12149"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12149\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
