Let's begin by seeing that SpaceX increased it's launch cost by 50% for 2020 to $228 million while Orbital ATK is launching for $223 million, meanwhile actually being a profitable company. [1] SpaceX blames this on NASA. So Orbital ATK didn't have that problem because, reasons?[1] Unbiased sources on launch costs are really hard to find. And about the Mars thing, it's not going to happen. SpaceX works for contract work, not for dreams. Nobody's going to pay for that. Why not the moon first anyway? Almost just as cool and way more practical. I haven't seen any practical unpartial sources for savings from reusable rocket stages. I expected the hackernews community to be more skeptical.
