Dragon to cost about $140 million per launch
http://www.spacex.com/press.php?page=20111020
"Now that the Space Shuttle program has ended, the United States relies on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft for astronaut transport, costing American taxpayers as much as $62 million a seat. By comparison, Dragon is designed to carry seven astronauts at a time for an unparalleled $20 million per seat." Roughly one-tenth the cost of STS.
