1 to 2 orders of magnitude? ... Falcon Heavy launches nowadays run at approximately $40-70 million each. So you are implying that others cost minimum $400 to $4 billion per launch! I mean that is still 1/100th the Saturn V but SpaceX hasn't improved the overall costs that much. An improvement, yes, but no where near what they claim.

This is really my only complaint about Space X. I wish they would stop trying to be this somewhat unrealistic hype machine. What they are doing nowadays is amazing - that should be enough!

Falcon Heavy launches are not sold that cheap, though Delta IV Heavy, on the expensive end of commercial launch, did in fact sell around $400m.
