This article is only referencing cost per launch, which is just stupid. what about cost per kg to orbit? Or cost per kg to geostationary? Or cost per kg to beyond earth orbit? Cost per astronaut seat to ISS? Etc... these are the metrics that actually matter. The article also fails to mention inflation adjusted or not, which is important with the timescales they are using. Low effort ragebait article.
