> To get a kilogram into orbit on the space shuttle costs $54,500. To do the same thing with SpaceX’s Falcon 9, costs $2,720. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/06/03/united-states-returns-space-exploration-elon-musk-spacex-column/5312410002/ … who was the dumbass arguing we should've slowly evolved the shuttle instead of ditching a stupid jobs program & starting over?
