"And for my next trick, I'm going to attempt something impossible, I'm going to TRY to compare the price of some rockets" *crowd gasps, one person faints* This is one of the hardest and maybe dumbest things to try and get good data on. Anyone have any solid data to change these numbers around? @torybruno @elonmusk @SciGuySpace @jeff_foust @Alexphysics13 @NASASpaceflight The closest apples to apples comparison we have of these vehicles is really the NSSL Phase 2 contract which had an average cost of $118 million per Vulcan launch and $123 million average cost per SpaceX vehicle, but confusingly, that does include a mix of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. Would love if anyone had more conclusive data points to add / change these numbers around?
