That is pure garbage. The shuttle makes satellite placement what 100 -- 200 percent more expensive than disposable rockets?

For what mission? All these things are mission design dependent. The Shuttle did not come out of thin air because it was thought to be a nice toy. Reusability has its benefits. And the 100 to 200 percent price tag increase is ludicrous. The shuttle is multimissioned. You talk about pure garbage, you're the one adding nothing to the equation.

Since when are commercial concerns quantified as missions?
