Would it be totally insane for SpaceX to offer free/very cheap launches every now and then to pure science missions to make up for these types inconveniences?

For context: plain old Falcon 9 could launch a Hubble-sized telescope to LEO (with a bit of room to spare) and return for reuse.
It feels like the right thing to do and could gain them a bit of goodwill.
- mlindner 5y agoThey already do offer cheap launches. That's kind of their business model. There's more science missions being launched by their rideshare missions than ever before. There's a media campaign to somehow discredit SpaceX despite all the good they're doing.
