Flannery made the phosphor on my monitor glow in
such a way as to indicate that:

Also if we go over to a unmanned system, we don't have to meet the
stringent requirements for SRB safety, so we can probably reuse more SRB
segments.

So we don't care if we lose a billion-dollar payload? Or the price of
relaunching?

This notion of reliability being of no relevance for unmanned systems
gets tiresome.
