Why was this one designed to not be recoverable?
-
-
-
Its rather 'configured' for recovery, not 'designed'. Expendable mode bc: very heavy payload + high GEO orbit = no fuel left for recovery.

Thanks. I dove into the replies to find exactly this answer. Do you have any reference link?

Not pictured: decommissioned ships in the ocean set up as a giant dart board for stage one.

Can you explain why you couldn't recover the first stage ?
-
Heavy satellite...high orbit...more rocket fuel needed..not enough left for first stage (entryburn...landingburn)
-
So what happens to it ?
-
Burns up in atmosphere, like 99.9% of all rockets made by humans.
