Only 50% more? I was expecting it to be much higher. That’s honestly a decent price to pay to ensure SpaceX never gets a monopoly.
Sounds like SpaceX should be charging more. If Musk was a true capitalist, he should be charging what the customer would bear.
Or maybe money alone isn’t the motivation, and SpaceX sets a “good” price, leaving a lot of profit on the table.
This is 50% more than Falcon Heavy, a rocket more capable than Vulcan for any energy. For ULA this is probably close to their costs while for SpaceX this is a cash cow
