"Vulcan will be partially reusable (eventually)" Haha what a joke. The whole point of reusability is to be able to land the rocket, refuel it, and send it back up the next or even same day!

"ULA says it's going to try to capture only the most valuable parts of a rocket"

So... how about when we fly NY -> LA in our 777 we only bother to land the passengers in the remaining "valuable" parts of the airplane? See the point ULA? We're trying to make spaceflight just like commercial airline traffic. That's the ONLY way to make it commercially viable. Your cost-plus methods of building expensive as possible single use bottle rockets are over man!!
