Also, he says $500M to $1B for launch cost. It's billions per flight.

I absolutely understand why Boeing, ULA, etc. all want their gravy train to continue. I can't understand why anyone else defends it. Corruption is the easy answer, but I don't want to race to impugn the characters of various people. Thoughts?
