Sending your own employees up first will work out even worse financially. I assume it's a combination of safety testing, eating-your-own-dogfood (in a potentially fatal sense), working out minor kinks for an overall positive experience, and maybe that cost includes a lot of the startup/fixed costs and the final amortized cost will be closer to under $200k. Sort of like Tesla cars.
