Re: Don't you hate it.....

I was just asking for your source of information. A shame you chose to snipe rather than simply answer the question...But since you asked, Aviation Week's Space Business magazine dated Nov. 29, 2000 put the price of just the Soyuz booster -marketed by Starsem - at $35-40M when used for satellite launch.

About three years ago NASA was quoted a price of approximately $75M for a Soyuz spacecraft. Unfortunately, I have no link to offer. While I'm sure the price quote was inflated at least a little bit by the RASA, I seriously doubt it was marked up 350%. It's a much more reasonable assumption that Tito's $20M bought him one *seat*, not one Soyuz spacecraft.
