This is by choice - they could easily do it within the mission parameters - but the scuttlebutt has it that they're wanting to get rid of most of their "block 3" cores to make room for the block 5 cores which will, theoretically, be able to fly 10+ times.
Still sad to see a perfectly good booster destroyed.  |
The closet is getting full. Needs to make some room for the shiny new toys.
