(At between $40 million and $50 million, a new Falcon 9 first stage is by far the biggest part of SpaceXs launch budget.) Richard Bransons Virgin Galactic is developing reusable cargo vehicles. So is the Sierra Nevada Corp., which just won a key NASA contract to ferry cargo to the International Space Station using its Shuttle look-alike, Dream Chaser. That spaceship can be used at least 15 times and at a far lower cost than the Shuttle, thanks to a smarter design and less labor to refurbish it.
