SpaceX pays a 10X launch penalty (Ad)

SpaceX burns roughly $200,000 in fuel per Falcon 9 launch - about $20 million across 100 missions. One under $5 company's High Altitude Head Start technology could bring that down to $20,000 per launch, or $2 million across 100 missions - a 10X cost advantage. It is already flying with paying customers, but shares may not stay this cheap once Wall Street notices.tc pixel
