To date Bezos spent $5.8B to get into space. Branson spent $1B. Musk around $2.9B. That’s $9.7B pumped into the economy buying the talent and material necessary to explore privatization of space travel. Whatever they charged for “a ride” simply offset the costs. Makes our pissant government infrastructure and transportation bill look pretty paltry in comparison.
