Re: Beal Aerospace Part 2
> Hydrogen peroxide is expensive
I pay $3 to $4 a pound, which is indeed quite expensive. If you have paid for your own concentrator plant, the cost of feedstock and energy is only $0.55 a pound for 90% peroxide. Still quite a bit more than lox, but not bad at all.
Also, from talking with a couple high up Beal folk, the $200 million figure is exaggerated. They were late and over budget, but things still looked pretty good when the plug was pulled.
