I don't think that comparing this booster with the STS is particularly valid. While I don't want to downplay SpaceX's very real achievement here, the STS was a much more complex and flexible platform, it was human-rated (with all the engineering overhead that that entails), it was built without the advantage of the last forty-plus years of technical development, and it was done first. All those things cost money - at the time or with hindsight. |
