Default SpaceX pricing

I would agree, but I'm afraid Congress is not that smart. I think you
could probably use Falcon Heavy for any SLS Block 1 missions. If we
really need the capability of SLS Block 2 and BFR doesn't pan out
quickly enough, they could always build the Falcon Super Heavy with
four side boosters that Musk has talked about.
