With high value payloads perhaps. That seems like an expensive logistics
operation added to small and expensive launch system. Just an opinion but
perhaps focusing on designing and producing an inexpensive, simple and
reliable booster in vehicles this size and forgoing recovery would make more
sense from an operational cost standpoint. Or perhaps not. A few successful
missions should confirm it either way.

Electron is going to try it and it's something that's been done in the past.

It is a topic about which I don't know enough even to be dangerous.
But I said I would try to find someone who knew enough to critique his
ideas.
If there is such a person on this list, and you are interested, I can
pass on this guy's email.
