As long as we can depend on Russia to give us a ride up. We will be paying the Russians the equivalent of what it cost to launch the space shuttle just to take two passengers to the space station.

I can only conclude from this that you have no idea what it costs to launch the space shuttle.

Granted, I’ve been out of the industry for a decade. But at the time I worked on the exterior tanks, a launch cost NASA about $100M. Russia will be charging $54M per passenger as reported to day. I realize I’m not very good at math, being an engineer and all, but I think I did the addition right.
