Come on Arianespace, that's not how deorbiting works, but I guess this video has limited budget.

Developing expendable rockets in this day an age. RIP Ariane Group

To be fair, they're working on recoverable boosters that will be a good testbed for them for a fully reusable rocket. Doing this with boosters first gives them the experience while still having a better rocket than before. Saving valuable tax money from the unavoidable explosions while testing.

@@Kangzo Also, Ariane 6 will be really cheap compared to Ariane 5

They lnow what they do really much more than what you think you understand of it. Reusable needs economical viability which needs a lot of flights and for now there are not enough commercial flights on the open market to make it viable. Maybe for low orbit but it is not even sure. For low orbits you can use smaller launchers, even reusable. Ariane group will make the maia laincher based on themis demonstrator for that.
