I'm just confused now. Are we saying that it actually costs that amount to
make a set, or are we saying they will not reuse them? Where is the high
cost in reuse?

Before we come up with a realistic appraisal we would have to know
whether 5-segment SRBs end up being selected for the design baseline,
wouldn't we?

Oh, yeah. Forgot about that. Assume regular, not premium. :-)

Also, I'm wondering if "... Thiokol will produce and refurbish 35 Reusable
Solid Rocket Motor flight sets (70 motors) and three flight support
motors."
means 35 complete and new motors, or if it is more like a "subscription",
where there may only be 15 motors, but some are refurbished to supply a
total of 35 "logical" sets. Is that clear? :-)
