Re: Space Shuttle Economics

Lots of people harp on how we should never have let go of Saturn V. I have just one question - how often does one need to put 100K lb in orbit?

Flight rate has a direct bearing on operating cost. If only one or two S5s are needed per year, does the flight rate justify total program cost?
