Reusability is a bit up in the air. With Orion's problems (many of which
are caused by Ares I's performance problems), I'm guessing that reusability
is one of the many things they'll drop from the design.

I think the "removable heat shield" is the key to reusability, and
that almost certainly won't be going away, as it is a fundamental
design element.

Dunking in the ocean might hurt, but that didn't stop them from
reflying a Gemini, so I suspect that's more superstition than a factor
preventing reusability.
