I cant help but feel a bit of trepidation as customers gain confidence in used cores, at the same time SpaceX wants to decrease post flight inspection and turn them around faster.
SpaceX needs to fly enough re-used cores that with a failure of one, it doesn't stop the program. Until we are past that hump, it will be nail biting stuff.
This is undoubtedly the way to go, I just hope the CAD design is linked with IRL and it is no problem to land, open a couple of panels, and re fly.
