There's several other examples. I also don't think inventing is an ill-defined term. That's an absurd thing to even say.
- You mind telling what those other examples are, and defining in inventing?
  
  I hope this is simple enough for you.

  So it needs to be created in real life, rather than just a drawing or design? Or does creating it only as a design without building it count?
  
  Also, all technology is built on previous work, especially rocketry. That would seem to eliminate the possibility of invention in rocketry due to the clause of your own ingenuity, etc. What's the cutoff for invention vs refinement?
  
  Musk simps try soooo hard and it's hilarious.
  
  I don't even like musk? And how does that have anything to do with SpaceX?
  
  Sure repeating his lies well for someone pretending not to like him. Maybe have a few moments of critical thoughts about the marketing BS you believe and who created it?
  
  Is it an elon lie that SpaceX has incredibly effective cheap reusability in their rockets? That seems pretty well established at this point.
  
  It isn't well established, look how much NASA paid Russia for launch services, now look at SpaceX. Seriously. For pretending to be fans of this shit in general, it really is only the musk lies you people repeat.
  
  5k/kg for Soyuz vs 2.5k/kg for SpaceX? I don't get your point. Or are you talking about the ride swaps with Russian and US Cosmonauts and Astronauts respectively to ride in each other's rockets to give dissimilar redundancy?
  
  Ah yes, the dollars per kilo fallacy. A favorite of people that don't understand the industry but want to repeat the things Musk tells them to. Fantastic. We're already on page two of the script. Now, go ahead and tell me how SpaceX invented something that already existed for decades.
  
  We do try hard. So does Musk. That’s probably why we like him.
  
  I bet you like him because he makes you feel like you can be a low effort, low knowledge person and still pretend to know what you're talking about. SUPER popular with fans of his. Especially fans that think being a fan of his companies makes them an expert in a certain field even though actual experts laugh at the nonsense they repeat to one another.
  
  And you bet that based on solid reasoning and evidence no doubt.
