EELV Cost Almost Doubles

According to: "http://www.flatoday.com/news/space/stories/2004b/spacestoryN1010OVERRUN.htm"

The new Air Force estimate is that EELV (Delta IV or Atlas V)
costs for the next round will increase from $70 million to
about $138 million for a Medium version, will rise from
$100-ish million to $192 million for an "intermediate"
version, and will skyrocket from $150 million to $254 million
for a heavy version.

Ouch.
