Well, there’s a Delta for ya.

The Delta IV Heavy is the only version still flying, usually with a defense payload. The cost per launch is listed as $164+ million. The Falcon 9 is $62 million per launch with comparable payload to orbit. SpaceX is setting up to be very competitive.Well, there’s a Delta for ya.

About the Falcon 9 stage that was recovered Saturday-

The Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ships are somewhat whimsically named. “Just Read the Instructions” and “Of Course I Still Love You” are operational.
“A Shortfall of Gravitas” is under construction to handle Falcon Heavy recovery.

Will SpaceX turn it into a museum piece?

SPACEX MARS CITY: ELON MUSK CONFIRMS HE'S STICKING TO AMBITIOUS LAUNCH DATE
SpaceX wants to build a city on Mars, and it's not waiting around to get started.
On Friday, CEO Elon Musk confirmed via Twitter that he's still aiming to launch the first ships to Mars by 2022. These ships will hold cargo designed to support a future manned mission. That mission will come in 2024, the next time when the Earth and Mars are close again.

I dunno. If they get Starship and its booster stage running well soon, it could be a game changer. So far their engineering has been quite good.

Honestly your right bout the engineering so far. Imagine if they got they're hands on ion engines..and added them.

Unfortunately ion engines (Star Trek notwithstanding) have some real disadvantages. They use lots of electrical energy to produce very low thrust. The propellant of choice, xenon, is very expensive.
The NSTAR thruster on the Deep Space 1 mission used 2 kW to generate a third of an ounce of thrust. Its specific impulse was about 3000 seconds.

I always thought xenon was fairly inexpensive. Now the energy to fuel, miniature nuke reactors. There already a satellite that has an example for the tech out in space now. The tech is out there, just how to use it.

Vicodin, ketamine, and caffeine: The ingredients of a good space pharmacy
If humans want to live longterm in space, they'll need medicines—research is scarce for now.

WTF, why would they take the flu with them?
