This is a normal post Virgin Galactic?
Not sure which bit of that system needs rebuilding between flights, but I doubt that Blue Origin would just restack and refuel without performing extensive maintenance checks.

uses sub orbital space planes, with rocket engines, but they're not rockets, and it's debatable if they actually even go into space.

This is a normal post OK, so the Space Shuttle wasn't a rocket. Got it.
I don't understand why you're so wedded to the need to describe this pointless irrelevance as a milestone, while simultaneously so determined to ignore the other pointless irrelevance that successfully beat it to an arbitrary definition of space. It's like trying to argue that Charlton Athletic are the best football club in London because Leyton Orient only play in the second division.

Have you got tickets or something?

This is a normal post The space shuttle wasn't a rocket.
It was also a space plane, which used a pair of independent rocket boosters to get it close enough to space for it to fly independently.

I didn't say the other things weren't milestones or even suggest that. I pointed out how they were different, and so were not THIS milestone.

This is a normal post I'm surprised at you.
You don't usually surrender with this few moves. Even benny lasted longer than you.

This is a normal post And they need to replace the engine each flight, I think.

This is a normal post I know they use a solid propellant,
so I guess they'd have to have some kind of replacement cartridge at the very least. As stated above though, I'd expect them to have to go through an exhaustive series of maintenance checks between each flight anyway, so I don't see that as much of a handicap.
