The article says the $422m is "maximum amount the Air Force believes it will need to pay, per launch".
Are you saying that the air force ALWAYS pays the maximum for every launch -- no matter the payload?
If not, then clearly the number includes much more than just a subsidy.
- btilly 9y agoNo, it means that this is the maximum that total_paid/launches could be. And includes fees that are paid independently of whether a launch happens.
