A programmer, computer programmer, developer, coder, or software engineer is a person who writes computer software. The term computer programmer can refer to a specialist in one area of computer programming or to a generalist who writes code for many kinds of software. One who practices or professes a formal approach to programming may also be known as a programmer analyst. A programmer's primary computer language (Assembly, COBOL, C, C++, C#, Java, Lisp, Python, etc.) is often prefixed to these titles, and those who work in a Web environment often prefix their titles with Web. The term programmer can be used to refer to a software developer, Web developer, mobile applications developer, embedded firmware developer, software engineer, computer scientist, or software analyst. However, members of these professions possess other software engineering skills, beyond programming; for this reason, the term programmer, or code monkey, is sometimes considered an insulting or derogatory oversimplification of these other professions. This has sparked much debate amongst developers, analysts, computer scientists, programmers, and outsiders who continue to be puzzled at the subtle differences in the definitions of these occupations.
The SpaceX reusable launch system development program is a privately funded program to develop a set of new technologies for an orbitallaunch system that may be reused many times in a manner similar to the reusability of aircraft. The company SpaceX is developing the technologies over a number of years to facilitate full and rapid reusability of space launch vehicles. The project's long-term objectives include returning a launch vehicle first stage to the launch site in minutes and to return a second stage to the launch pad following orbital realignment with the launch site and atmospheric reentry in up to 24 hours. SpaceX long term goal is that both stages of their orbital launch vehicle will be designed to allow reuse a few hours after return.
The program was publicly announced in 2011 and the design for returning the rocket to its launchpad using only its own propulsion systems was completed in February 2012. SpaceX's active test program began in late 2012 with testing low-altitude, low-speed aspects of the landing technology. High-velocity, high-altitude aspects of the booster atmospheric return technology began testing in late 2013 and continued to late 2015, when SpaceX first achieved a successful landing and recovery of a first stage.

The first re-flight of a landed first stage occurred in March 2017[2] with the second occurring in June 2017, that one only five months after the maiden flight of the booster.[3] The third attempt occurred in October 2017 with the SES-11/EchoStar-105mission. Second flights of refurbished first stages then became routine, with boosters having powered up to five missions as of March 2020.
The reusable launch system technology was developed and initially used for the first stage of Falcon 9.[4] After stage separation, the booster flips around, an optional boostback burn is done to reverse its course, a reentry burn, controlling direction to arrive at the landing site and a landing burn to effect the final low-altitude deceleration and touchdown.
SpaceX intended (from at least 2014) to develop technology to extend reusable flight hardware to second stages, a more challenging engineering problem because the vehicle is travelling at orbital velocity.[5][4][6] Second stage reuse is considered paramount to Elon Musk's plans to enable the settlement of Mars. Initial concepts to make the second stage of Falcon 9 reusable have been abandoned.[7]
As of 2020, SpaceX is developing Starship, a fully reusable two-stage vehicle, intended to support missions to the Moon and to Mars, and eventually replace Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy for satellite delivery and human transport. In addition it could be used for point-to-point transportation on Earth.[8]

SpaceX Did Something that NASA Couldn't Do for Decades With 200 Times Lower Cost than SLS...
Here's what SpaceX could do in two decades by building its rockets 20 times cheaper than NASA's.
And what if SpaceX could expand that gap to 200 times in the future?
Find out everything in today’s Techmap episode.
A big step forward for SpaceX on October 13 when its launch tower's chopsticks, namely Mechazilla successfully caught a descending rocket booster.
This success inspires SpaceX's CEO, Elon Musk to set a more ambitious goal to achieve full stack reusability in 2025.
Thanks to that, the company can accelerate toward the goal of having the first crewed flight of the Starship HLS lander to the Moon in 2026, launching five uncrewed Starships to Mars in the same year, then, possibly launching crewed missions to that planet in 2030.
SpaceX Did Something that NASA Couldn't Do for Decades With 200 Times Lower Cost than SLS...
It's not by chance that the sight of catching Super Heavy gives us goosebumps. This is not just about an unprecedented engineering feat. More importantly, it gives us real hope for a future where no rocket parts end up in the ocean, where space travel is no longer the monopoly of a small group of people in the World, and where our tax dollars are no longer wasted on opaque government projects. There will be a lot of interesting things waiting for us.
And of course, we should hope so. Keep in mind that SpaceX's fully reusable Starship is indeed the final phase of its reusable launch system development program, building on the successes of its partially reusable Falcon rocket line. Although currently, the program is only coming to the phase of partial reusability, its positive impact is very significant.
Okay, let's look at the huge gap between SpaceX's costs versus NASA's thanks to reusability, the Holy Grail of rocketry.
SpaceX Did Something that NASA Couldn't Do for Decades With 200 Times Lower Cost than SLS...
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket launches have been advertised at around $62 million per launch, while larger rockets like the Falcon Heavy can cost upwards of $90 million per launch. On the higher end, NASA's expendable Space Launch System (SLS) is estimated to cost over $2 billion per launch.
Wow, that means that they could theoretically conduct about 20 Falcon Heavy launches for the price of one SLS launch. It's so amazing, right?
According to statistics, when Elon enters the industry, launching spacecraft today is 10 times cheaper than it was a decade ago.

The SpaceX reusable launch system development program is a privately funded program to develop a set of new technologies for an orbital launch system that may be reused many times in a manner similar to the reusability of aircraft. SpaceX has been developing the technologies over several years to facilitate full and rapid reusability of space launch vehicles. The project's long-term objectives include returning a launch vehicle first stage to the launch site in minutes and to return a second stage to the launch pad following orbital realignment with the launch site and atmospheric reentry in up to 24 hours. SpaceX's long term goal is that both stages of their orbital launch vehicle will be designed to allow reuse a few hours after return.

The program was publicly announced in 2011. SpaceX first achieved a successful landing and recovery of a first stage in December 2015. The first re-flight of a landed first stage occurred in March 2017[2] with the second occurring in June 2017, that one only five months after the maiden flight of the booster.[3] The third attempt occurred in October 2017 with the SES-11/EchoStar-105mission. Second flights of refurbished first stages then became routine, with boosters having powered up to five missions as of March 2020.
The reusable launch system technology was developed and initially used for the first stage of Falcon 9.[4] After stage separation, the booster flips around, an optional boostback burn is done to reverse its course, a reentry burn, controlling direction to arrive at the landing site and a landing burn to effect the final low-altitude deceleration and touchdown.
SpaceX intended (from at least 2014) to develop technology to extend reusable flight hardware to second stages, a more challenging engineering problem because the vehicle is travelling at orbital velocity.[5][4][6] Second stage reuse is considered paramount to Elon Musk's plans to enable the settlement of Mars. Initial concepts to make the second stage of Falcon 9 reusable have been abandoned.[7]
As of 2020, SpaceX is developing Starship, a fully reusable two-stage vehicle, intended to support missions to the Moon and to Mars, and eventually replace Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy for satellite delivery and human transport. In addition it could be used for point-to-point transportation on Earth.[8]

The SpaceX reusable launch system development program is a privately funded program to develop a set of new technologies for an orbital launch system that may be reused many times in a manner similar to the reusability of aircraft. SpaceX has been developing the technologies over several years to facilitate full and rapid reusability of space launch vehicles. The project's long-term objectives include returning a launch vehicle first stage to the launch site in minutes and to return a second stage to the launch pad following orbital realignment with the launch site and atmospheric reentry in up to 24 hours. SpaceX's long term goal is that both stages of their orbital launch vehicle will be designed to allow reuse a few hours after return.The program was publicly announced in 2011. SpaceX first achieved a successful landing and recovery of a first stage in December 2015. The first re-flight of a landed first stage occurred in March 2017 with the second occurring in June 2017, that one only five months after the maiden flight of the booster. The third attempt occurred in October 2017 with the SES-11/EchoStar-105 mission. Reflights of refurbished first stages then became routine. In May 2021, B1051 became the first booster to power ten missions.The reusable launch system technology was developed and initially used for the first stage of Falcon 9.

SpaceX Did Something that NASA Couldn't Do for Decades With 200 Times Lower Cost than SLS...
Here's what SpaceX could do in two decades by building its rockets 20 times cheaper than NASA's.
And what if SpaceX could expand that gap to 200 times in the future?
Find out everything in today’s Techmap episode.
A big step forward for SpaceX on October 13 when its launch tower's chopsticks, namely Mechazilla successfully caught a descending rocket booster.
This success inspires SpaceX's CEO, Elon Musk to set a more ambitious goal to achieve full stack reusability in 2025.
Thanks to that, the company can accelerate toward the goal of having the first crewed flight of the Starship HLS lander to the Moon in 2026, launching five uncrewed Starships to Mars in the same year, then, possibly launching crewed missions to that planet in 2030.
SpaceX Did Something that NASA Couldn't Do for Decades With 200 Times Lower Cost than SLS...
It's not by chance that the sight of catching Super Heavy gives us goosebumps. This is not just about an unprecedented engineering feat. More importantly, it gives us real hope for a future where no rocket parts end up in the ocean, where space travel is no longer the monopoly of a small group of people in the World, and where our tax dollars are no longer wasted on opaque government projects. There will be a lot of interesting things waiting for us.
And of course, we should hope so. Keep in mind that SpaceX's fully reusable Starship is indeed the final phase of its reusable launch system development program, building on the successes of its partially reusable Falcon rocket line. Although currently, the program is only coming to the phase of partial reusability, its positive impact is very significant.
Okay, let's look at the huge gap between SpaceX's costs versus NASA's thanks to reusability, the Holy Grail of rocketry.
SpaceX Did Something that NASA Couldn't Do for Decades With 200 Times Lower Cost than SLS...
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket launches have been advertised at around $62 million per launch, while larger rockets like the Falcon Heavy can cost upwards of $90 million per launch. On the higher end, NASA's expendable Space Launch System (SLS) is estimated to cost over $2 billion per launch.
Wow, that means that they could theoretically conduct about 20 Falcon Heavy launches for the price of one SLS launch. It's so amazing, right?
According to statistics, when Elon enters the industry, launching spacecraft today is 10 times cheaper than it was a decade ago.

“If one can figure out how to effectively reuse rockets just like airplanes, the cost of access to space will be reduced by as much as a factor of a hundred. A fully reusable vehicle has never been done before. That really is the fundamental breakthrough needed to revolutionize access to space.” Elon Musk

A programmer, computer programmer, developer, coder, or software engineer is a person who writes computer software. The term computer programmer can refer to a specialist in one area of computer programming or to a generalist who writes code for many kinds of software. One who practices or professes a formal approach to programming may also be known as a programmer analyst. A programmer's primary computer language (Assembly, COBOL, C, C++, C#, Java, Lisp, Python, etc.) is often prefixed to these titles, and those who work in a Web environment often prefix their titles with Web. The term programmer can be used to refer to a software developer, Web developer, mobile applications developer, embedded firmware developer, software engineer, computer scientist, or software analyst. However, members of these professions possess other software engineering skills, beyond programming; for this reason, the term programmer, or code monkey, is sometimes considered an insulting or derogatory oversimplification of these other professions. This has sparked much debate amongst developers, analysts, computer scientists, programmers, and outsiders who continue to be puzzled at the subtle differences in the definitions of these occupations.
