> Its a pretty absurd claim, that I have heard nobody make except you. Nevertheless it's a widely circulated claim in certain groups. The idea that "SpaceX beats everybody on price" unfortunately got little actual checks. Of course there is the claim, and some support for that, like rocket structure, engines - but not the actual comparisons. SpaceX does wonderful advancements - but just how wonderful and how do they compare with existing offerings on the whole range of parameters, including price, is rarely compared to what SpaceX actually proclaims. Don't overestimate the cost of older technologies.
