And if I recall, some of the SpaceX launches are pricier (though not that level) for the more sensitive payloads--as in there is a Secret-Spy-Satellite optional charge package.
- greglindahl 11y agoThe extra charge is due to the paperwork requirement for these launches... which were imposed after a series of launch failures by LM and Boeing rockets carrying very expensive US Government satellites.
- will_hughes 11y agoAnd the paperwork is (in part) because the US Government doesn't purchase insurance on their launches.
