While I agree on some level (there's probably another level of secret launches we don't hear about), Space X is going after those military contracts too, and even with additional security measures still projects significant cost savings. Also military launches are quite regular and not all are unique "small-production-run" top secret jobs that require custom vehicles/equipment.
- ubernostrum 12y agoNot all of them are, sure. But year+ long reusable spaceplane flights are not exactly run-of-the-mill flights, which strongly suggests that these aren't the sort of thing a more mass-market-oriented vehicle would even be competing for.
- josefresco 12y agoAgreed, my point was that there are also run-of-the-mill military flights/launches which SpaceX is also interested.
