ULA has 100% mission success. The Atlas family has 100% mission sucess since 1957. The ULA markup is justified for a high value mission. BO and spaceX have big shoes to fill when it comea to building industry and insurer trust. The Amos 8 failure was an expensive lesson for spacex.

Huh? Atlas I had failures in 1991, 1992, and 1993. Atlas G failed in 1984 and 1987.
