Where did you find that information about per-launch costs of the shuttle? Another post here claims this data hasn't been released. Edit: so it seems $1.2-$1.5

Edit: so it seems $1.2-$1.5 billion is the accepted figure from outside analysis, but I don't see how this is possible. With a total budget of $7.2 billion in 1985, I don't see how they paid for $10.8 billion in launches.

- natep 15y agoAh, thanks. I was looking at the wrong column. If the $1.5 billion figure is also inflation-adjusted, then it's feasible.
