720x Improvement Curve Rockets

No RUD = good.

This week's 10th test flight of mankind's largest ever rocket, after previous explosions, seems widely viewed as a 'stunning comeback'.

Beyond the breakthrough tech, I note with interest the market impact.

2011 saw the final Space Shuttle lift-off.

So in just a little over a decade, satellite transport costs have already plummeted.

From $72k a kilo, to just $1½k.

And now it seems [sub'n req'd] we're looking at another ten-fold reduction incoming.

These dollars-per-kg amounts sound quite the compelling business case. Imagine these raw figures jumping from pitch slide or prominent Proposal table.

Format remix as you wish.

We ought seek similar in our realm.

Surely our solution yields some type of notable dividend?

And this three-stage treatment suits many an Enterprise endeavour well.

Before Us, yesterday, took 'x'
With Us, today, takes (say) half 'x'
With Us, tomorrow, maybe a tenth 'x'

For but one example.

Whilst these SpaceX numbers show exponential improvement, in the tech domain many of these kinds of results can be grouped together as Moore's Law curves, or in general any technology scaling effect.

You can even cite this cost-per-kilo fall as inspo. Mentioning that whilst we might not bring such drastic impact for our species' communications around the globe, in our own little arena, we're making attractive inroads. Know anyone who'd fancy buying a piece of that?
