I suspect that as they scale up their costs will increase due to logistics and maintenance costs not necessarily scaling linearly with launches. Furthermore, I suspect that the failure rate will also increase as the launch frequency goes up and hence costs associated with launch failures also increase.

> I suspect that the failure rate will also increase as the launch frequency goes up So you're saying that after say the initial 100 launches Launch 100-199 would have 5 failures Launch 200-299 would have 7 failures Launch 300-399 would have 10 failures Why? Generally doing more of something reduces the cost per something. Why do you think the inverse will hold with spacex?
