Looks like a bargain for only $750 Million for a Space Station, I imagine
the price will only go up after the first one. Kind of like the price on a
Soyuz is heading up, is $25 Million now, or is it $30 Million.
As I understand it, the Soyuz prices were artificially surpressed, and
are simply now catching up to their true cost.
Here, we're starting out with something close to the true cost to begin
with -- no government subsidies involved -- and with experience and
recovery of development costs, I would expect future costs (in relation
to performance) to go down, as in pretty much any other industry. (And
no, this principle doesn't apply only to information technologies; look
at cars for a concrete hardware example.)
