2) What's the cost of replacing the hybrid engine each flight?

Some time ago, there was discussion in this group about the eventual
minimum cost of entering orbit. The supposed airline metric of 3
times fuel cost was mentioned. If the answer to #2 above is $69,000
or less than we've broken that barrier for sub-orbital flight at least
(assuming a Virgin ticket price of $208,000).

I've heard US$100k mentioned.

Which is 25% of what flying two passengers in SS1 would bring at that
price. If SS1 were to be used to paying pasengers prior to the 5
passenger version. And if they didn't charge more for the very early
tickets.
