Continuing drop in prices?
I've seen at least one report that if their predictions for Block 5
hold up when they tear down their first one, SpaceX is planning to drop the cost of a Falcon 9 launch from the current $62 million to $50 million. I assume that's for customers who are willing to accept a used rocket until they've got enough of those users so that building the occasional new rocket for a user who insists on that isn't a big deal. If that report is true and SpaceX can achieve the kind of launch rates they're talking about (60+ launches per year), they are going to own the space launch business. -- "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man." --George Bernard Shaw |
