Hitching a Ride to Outer Space

Silicon Valley based startup Planet has one goal: to take a picture of the entire planet every day. To do that, they need to launch the largest number of satellites in human history. In this episode of Ventures, Bloomberg Businessweek's Ashlee Vance journeys to India to watch Planet's satellites hitch a ride on a rocket.

No, space x is definitely more cost competitive. Just not yet. They are still at the experimentation stage by restoring the first stage. Maybe after a like 10 more reused first stage launches they can start to decrease the price. As of right now its basically the same cost.
