Exactly. Almost all the cost for the Shuttle is the maintenance needed
between flights. Some parts, like the SRBs, are completely
disassembled, stripped to bare metal (even the nuts and bolts),
inspected for cracks, and remanufactured.

Could you please give an example of an SRB segment that has been reused,
including the flight on which it was first used, and the flight on which
it was reused.
