- colechristensen 4y agoSpaceX got contracts to launch a couple of GPS satellites for ~$80 and ~$90 million, compatible ULA launches were in the military budget for ~$420 million. It’s not like buying a bus ticket so pricing is complex and difficult to compare but spacex is all around dramatically cheaper than the competition.
