...no? my source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_launch_market_competition#2010-2020s:_Competition_and_pricing_pressure and scroll down a bit to the chart with launch costs
the space shuttle sucked
The space shuttle was a mistake, but that is a laughably disingenuous route to claim that NASA couldn't be doing these things for cheaper than private companies. Saturn V rocket launches were cheaper than space shuttle launches.
yeah but the falcon 9 and heavy are the cheapest ever compared to everything
