- 14 8y agoYes 900k seems like for some companies that kind of fine would be worth it to get their stuff in space and even if you made it 5 times higher seems like you could account for all of that in your budget. I think a more severe penalty would be ground them from future launches for 6 months(or other number maybe 6 months is too short), and failure to do that would have them sanctioned from the US and it's allies. The article states they are hoping the negative exposure from this fine is enough to deter the company, it is not even about the money.
