That’s what I’m saying. Those numbers need a hard look. 20 million for an engine? You could make it out of solid titanium and have money left over. JD’s guys need to be looking at it. You’d think they were feeding starving kids in the back room. Might be some work for Elon. They’ve always said it costs 10,000$ per pound to put something in orbit. Let’s put an F35 up.

Having built stuff for seven decades I’ve seen every over-priced scam out there. This has the smell of a bunch of them. Thanx for pulling up the chart. It’s enough to keep me pee-ode at least until supper time.

I resemble those remarks. There’s inflation and then there’s con men. When you buy stuff to build with,I have built fishing rods since 1971,You have to be able to distinguish one from the other.
