Spacex has established itself as a sort of technological monopoly, where its launch prices are $70m, but the competition is $90m, but because of their technological monopoly, and their true cost of launch is $20m. And now they are on a launch cadence of every two weeks, (that is $50m in contribution margin every 2 weeks, that is $100m in profit per mo., locked in forever well at least until ULA has a competitive offering (forever+1).
With that as your option set, why fuxk around with 200 versus 300 cars made a day.
F it, just bk it and be done with it.
