due to monoply russia was charging high price but in reality cost incurred in russia is much less otherwise u.s would not have abandoned manned missions from their soil after 2011,private company only work when they get enough customers for their service and due to negative impact on world economy after covid19 they will not get much people to travel to space as people are already avoiding travel through airliners,all this will hinder their growth in next few years
It cost the US $86 million per seat for a ride on a Soyuz... SpaceX does that for a fraction of the cost and uses US labor. A ride on SpaceX's Dragon is reported to cost just $55 million per seat. Oh, and SpaceX can recycle and reuse their launchers saving on both cost and resources. The cost of these launches are invested back into the US space sector, supporting US labor, research and innovation, not to prop up Russia's dying space program. It's well worth the cost.
Simple stunning. Godspeed Bob and Doug.
