“SpaceX was 165 out of 181”
Over 20 years that might be 3,300 launches.
Space X gets to reuse its hardware, other providers don’t.
The fuel burns would be roughly equal per payload.
So 3,300 launch hardware sets at $30 million each might be $99 billion.
That value assumes China isn’t able to develop reuseable launch vehicles. If China can, the Space X added value would be less than $99 billion.
It’s still losing money with every launch.
I’m talking about wartime value. Not stock price.
Satellite ISR is critical. The difference between win and lose.
Start destroying each other’s satellites, and launch capability will win the war
