Not bad. A turn around time of what, 4 days to relaunch the spaceship? A $50
million dollar spaceship. I suppose a larger verson that is mass produced might
cost the same and might be launched 50 times a year at about $1 million per
launch. A 10 passenger spacecraft would bring the ticket price to $100,000
dollars. A 30 minute suborbital flight could take a spacecraft 1/3rd of the way
around the planet. That would be a worthy next goal. If a spaceship stays in
spacve for 30 minutes, it has time to do something, such as space launch a
small satellite. Perhaps it could even undercut traditional satellite launch
services for certain categories of satellites. One side benefit might be
cheaper satellite com services such as satellite phones. The market for such
would drive investment towards even cheaper launch services and put it in the
hands of commerical developers rather than the US government. As a
side-benefit, the US government could use these services to assemble vehicles
in orbit that can reach the Moon and Mars.
