Wow! I guess Mr. Musk & Company may be pushed to the wall. Looks to me
like the big boys have finally woke up, and are spaying there litter
box. The only problem I see with this is, the lack of booster reuse. It
seems that the high flight rate must be the answer to opp. cost. Well I
wish them luck. It is going to be a interesting few years ahead!!


If their capsule holds eight people and there are seven paying passengers at the Russian's rate of $20 million per person, that's $140 million per flight.


Why not undercut the Russians? Even if only by half?

And if not...hmm. The first case of off-planet price fixing?
