You people are either being sarcastic or silly. Getting $100/pound using
1960's technology requires building thinsg like the Titan and Saturn for
around $5,000,000 per copy, which seems wildly unlikely.

And the Proton is no where near $100/pound to orbit. And there labor
is much cheaper than ours.
