- Hasn’t everyone been in a remake of that? -- nm - Will Hunting May 23, 17:24 1

- Without clicking any of these links, I thought it was about $500M for each shuttle launch. Unless they were sending only half an astronaut each time.. - zork May 23, 17:23
- that's an incredibly misleading comparison. -- (edited) - znufrii May 23, 16:54 5
  - It's about 1/10 the cost per kilo to orbit as it was a decade ago. - TWuG May 23, 17:03 4
    - It's going to drop again with starship, right? Or is that a starship-inclusive number? -- nm - Beryllium May 23, 17:34 1
      - I believe the 1/10th is just with Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, since they actually fly. -- nm - TWuG May 23, 19:26
    - that's what leveraging decades of government research gets you. -- nm - mafic May 23, 17:33 1
