Happy landings seem to be in order

Well, some of it profit to plow back into R&D. And some of it to go towards lowering the price charged for a launch. From that same El Reg article: Also, don't forget the Demand curve from Economics 101. As the price for launches goes down, the demand for launches will inevitably increase. So even if SpaceX keeps their profit per launch constant as reuse drives down their prices, they make more money overall because they will be selling more launches. Even better, their fixed expenses (all of their infrastructure and development costs) now become smaller on a per-launch basis. Vaughn |
