Re: Shuttle vs Falcon comparison - politics not involved!
!The Shuttle was a NASA project. As such, it was subject to interference and demands from many parties"
No, what made the shuttle hideously expensive was the need to keep 7 humans alive throughout it's journey, you cannot but triple up and replace almost 90% of the life support systems and nick nacks rather than risk a failure when lives depend on their functioning
the boosters and tank are the only comparable bits to Falcon
Biting the hand that feeds IT
