How:
At ten million dollars a launch, it would get a hundred people in orbit for $10,000 each, or a hundred fifty metric tons of payload at about $67 a kilogram. A Proton M or a Falcon 9 will cost about $3,000 per kilogram and a Delta IV about $10,000 per kilogram. Assuming the BFR flies, how will this change the future? Our panelists will consider the timing and cost asteroid mining, space manufacturing, space tourism, and space colonization.
