    For more fun I started to look at some of the other development costs of Space X rockets.

    Starship (the big spender) : $5 billion to $10 billion

    Falcon Heavy : Over $500 Million

    Falcon 9 : $300 Million

    Falcon 1: $100 Million

    Like I dislike the kirkland brand Dr.evil as much as the next dood, but I think boeing might just have a spending issue.

      Speaking of Kirkland Brand Dr. Evil, how much has Blue Origin spent in its non highly publicized efforts to develop the New Glenn?

        Blue Origin

        From what I can find At least $2.5 billion. So maybe kirkland branded Dr. Evil (musk) is better at spending then Temu Dr. Evil.

          You must not be from around Seattle.

          Kirkland is basically a suburb of Seattle.

          If anything Bezos/Amazon, which started around Seattle and now basically owns an entire section of the city, is Kirkland Brand.

          Blue Origin has most of their facilities in the Seattle area as well.

            Its the Costco store brand, not really relating it to a city in a foreign nation. But the reason bazos is Temu brand is just since its funny. Feel free to call them <insert what ever> brand Dr. evils though.
