[QUOTE="SMS, post: 3371131, member: 42"] Very true, but in this case with a commercial enterprise low-cost doesn't automatically equal low-quality. SpaceX, like other modern companies, achieved cost reductions through efficiency and innovation. They moved as much production as they could in-house and they shed NASA's old way of doing business which involved layers upon layers of contractors and sub-contractors, with each layer tacking on cost-plus pricing and cumbersome supply chains. That alone saved hoards of cash. Modern, informed, business practices can achieve major cost reductions and actually improve quality because you have more control over the product. That's why they are probably going to beat Boeing into space, for less money, and Boeing had a head start. [/QUOTE]
