主题：【原创】随便说说 SpaceX -- 孟词宗

替换（1）Gwynne Shotwell, President of SpaceX, has said on occassion that:

the re-used first stage costs SpaceX “substantially less than half the cost of a new one”.

SpaceX expects a total cost savings of 30% from re-using the first stage.

A 30% cut on the full $60 million price brings the price tag to about $40 million.

替换（2）eusability allows a marked increase in flight rates. Reverse engineered financial models of SpaceX show that to reach a good strong positive cash flow, they need more than the traditional 10–12 launches per year that sized rocket has demonstrated. Reusability should easily double the amount of flights possible from a mere production and logistics standpoint.

With reusability, 20–25 flights a year puts SpaceX into a much more positive cash flow position and thus I believe that this is a very important driver. I believe that the first stage has been identified as one of the bottle necks to flying more often mainly due to its production, transport and attendant infrastructure.
