SpaceShip Two not that expensive to fly.

Assuming they're still running the same kind of engines, the only consumable is a low-cost hybrid grain and some fuel. It's not like they're throwing away spacecraft parts like all the previous launch systems.

I would venture an educated guess that the overhead involved in the test flights far outweighs the actual flight cost.
