Wrong. Falcon 9 is a 2-stage rocket, they're only reusing the first stage. No 2nd-stages have been recovered at all. And half of the spacecraft itself (Dragon) is expendable as well, while the other half remains yet to be reused.

Shuttle reused all of the spacecraft (Orbiter itself), some of the main stage (Orbiter w/ SSMEs; ET was expendable), and all of the parallel boosters. And it was STILL a fucking quagmire. Hopefully Falcon 9 will fare better at reusability in the long run, but I'm not holding my breath.
