I work in the real world Dennis. That means I simply cannot pick and choose,
like you can, which costs I pass on and which I don't. The cost of a Shuttle
flight IS a minimum of $550 million. nothing you say about marginal costs
will change that. Tell us Dennis, exactly who is going to pay the share
of the overhead you have decided not to charge to this mission?

In your world apparently you can simply ignore that flights share of the
overhead. You can['t do that in the commercial world without going out
of buisness.

Do you know what the marginal cost of a Corvette is? I'll bet it's less
than $2,000. When you can persuade General Motors to sell you a new
Corvette for the marginal cost of one then I'll let you use the marginal
cost of a Shuttle flight.
