Re: How many times?

The rocket - probably zero times. It is likely to be cheaper to scrap the structural components instead of reusing them. They are not that expensive.

The engine (that is the really expensive bit) - target is 40 times or thereabouts.

This is according to Musk himself from one of his interviews. It will be interesting to see what they do.
