Is there any way to reuse the SSMEs and/or SRBs for
future design launchers? It seems like a shame to just
chuck them, especially the SSMEs now that they seem
fairly robust and reliable, and start over again.

You must be new here.

I see a lot of people arguing both sides of the technology
questions, such that they are, but near as I can tell there
aren't any "real, concrete, get it done" plans for using
any of the actual shuttle technology for future designs. It
seems to my uneducated mind that it would be fairly simple
to reuse the SSME's and SRBs for heavy lift designs which is
what I think we still need. That's why I'm asking, are there
any "real" plans to reuse the SSMEs and SRBs?
