Historic Shuttle Spacesuits to Meet Fiery End

collectSPACE writes "While some museums bid for retired space shuttle orbiters, the real prize may be the spacewalking spacesuits, at least if NASA's plans for them hold true. The now-reusable extravehicular mobility units (EMUs) are soon to become disposable, allowed to disintegrate as they reenter the Earth's atmosphere inside spent cargo ships."

    Is 'now-reusable' a typo? If the suits are reusable then why wouldn't you reuse them? I suspect the wording should have been 'non-reusable'.
