Five years later than scheduled
$30 billion cost--over $20 billion in cost overruns
$2 billion cost per launch.
Horribly unreliable.
Can only launch 1 or maybe 2 per year
SpaceX:
Two years later than scheduled
$2.5 billion cost--met their budget
$200 million per launch initially-->$20 million per launch now
Completely reliable
Launched 100 rockets last year, 70% of all global rocket launches
