How many people to launch a rocket?
I suppose this is harder to figure out the larger and more complex any launch
campaign gets, but if you take one of the smaller LEO-capable boosters (Taurus, Athena, etc) and assume there's nothing unusual about the payload, how many people get involved in a launch? I'm not talking about the organization staffing the ranges. I'm curious about the number of people it takes to transport, integrate, erect, checkout, and launch a booster. (I specified ground-launched boosters, as I figure Pegasus is likely to be an anomalous case.) Naturally, I'm also wondering what that costs (the actual launch process, that is, excluding all hardware costs and range use fees.)
