So, even if SpaceX wants to reuse first stages, sometimes the customer
simply won't allow it (hint: GPS III satellites cost a hell of a lot
more to make than a Falcon 9 first stage).

As an aside, a friend of mine has been working on this project (on the GPS
III sat). I'm not 100% sure of her role, but she's been quite frustrated
that the delays ruined her planned Christmas week off, but she's quite happy
to see it on orbit now!
