Compairing SpaceX and Boeing is wrong when talking about savings.
Compare a SpaceX launch to a Shuttle launch yo be more accurate, and don’t forget the inflation
Damn, we don’t have enough zeros for that. That’s more like the Russian fine against Bozos
There is an important fact about the Space Shuttle: it doesn’t exist anymore. Even if it was cheaper - which it wasn’t - it wouldn’t have meant much today, because today all other existing options are much more expensive. I’m comparing options we have today, and more importantly comparing to the option SpaceX moved the government off of.
If NASA brings back the space shuttle and it’s cheaper than SpaceX then amazing, let’s go. But they didn’t (because it wouldn’t have been cheaper).
