It doesn’t say what was changed but that makes it a great price again.
It also really messes up the pricing between the 3 RWD which doesn’t qualify and the AWD that does since it’s only a 1k difference now. I wonder if we’ll see them lower the RWD or potentially raise the AWD price?
I mean… I want Blue Origin, and all the other new launch providers to succeed, but Blue Origin was founded in 2000 and in 24 years has not reached orbit. I have a feeling it’s going to be a long time before they exceed F9 on payload cost to orbit / cadence, and Starship might be operational in expendable mode within a few more test launches, this year.
That was just an example. I just want anyone else to succeed.
Whatever you think about SpaceX, were ultimately doomed if none of the others get to their level. We really do need more than one semi/fully reusable launch provider.
Rocket Lab, Stoke, and Relativity are all trying!
I hadn’t heard of Stoke, one more to follow now, thanks!
Good point
