gaetanomarano, know something before you post. Everything you said is
wrong. You are still clueless.

also, the $600M "price" INCLUDES the annual fixed costs, while, the
Falcon/Dragon "annual fixed costs" at KSC are "FREE" for SpaceX !!!


wrong.

A. Spacex pad is on CCAFS
B. Spacex pays for all the services it gets from the Air Force
(electrical power, water, sewage, etc)
C. Space pays and does all the work for its fixed costs. It does all
the maintenance itself.
D. Spacex is paying for and building its own facilities. I


that, since, NASA gives its know-how and assistance, the launch base
and everything needed to launch the Falcon-9 from KSC, entirely FREE



in other words, SpaceX will send 20 tons to the ISS for $2.1 billion
ONLY thanks to these (very expensive) "services" given FREE since paid
by the NASA budget/US taxpayers dolalrs!!!

if we add the costs that SpaceX has FREE from NASA (KSC, launch base,
launch pad, assembly building, launch costs, NASA engineers and know-
how, etc.) the price-per-ton-to-ISS could likely cost, not "only"
$105M per ton, but $200-300M per ton or more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


d. The CRS price is all that SPaceX gets from NASA. It does not get
free labor or help from NASA engineers, it did not get an assembly
building or pad from NASA.
