Rocket reuse to space has happened. Blue Origin has successfully flown their New Shepard rocket (the same one that flew to space a few months ago) above the Karman Line (boundary of space).

The crucial idea is that they are helping to prove that we don’t need to build a new rocket every time we launch, which is a huge reason why travel to space is so incredibly pricey.

Another key concept is that this rocket only goes suborbital. Their rivals also working towards reusability are SpaceX, whose rockets are going into orbital space.
