Default CEV to be made commercially available

And there's no way that CEV will be cheap even if flown a thousand

times a year, if it flies on top of an expendable.

Agreed. That's why you should fly it on the Stick rather than the
EELVs. EELVs are fully expendable. Stick is fully reusable.


The stick is only planned to be partially resuable. Unfortunately, the part
that is planned to be reusable (the SRB) doesn't save you much money over
building it as an expendable.
