- anko 7y agoWhich launch company would they go with? SpaceX? Even then, they are splitting costs of the rocket (most expensive part) and fuel, while SpaceX themselves can just pay for fuel on an already flown booster. SpaceX are also paying cost, rather than retail prices. Sure, there are a few more costs, the point being that SpaceX has a supreme cost advantage.
