That is lower than the walk-up prices charged by its competitors -- last week Delta quoted a shuttle price of $484.90 and US Airways $406.90 -- and it would be half the price of the high-speed Acela Express run by Amtrak.
Roger Pielke, a science policy researcher at the University of Colorado, estimates that the space shuttle cost America $150 billion (at 2002 prices) between its birth in 1971 and the present day.And cost, of course, is an issue.
Tickets to space today will set you back a cool $250K, but Shuttle believes that prices will drop exponentially as reusable rockets and landing pads become pervasive.
As with air-shuttle fares, weekend prices for the Acela Express will be lower than on weekdays.
Many argue that our corporate shuttles, inflated housing prices, social bubble, iPhones for day and for night, and enthusiasm in replacing labor with capital, are worthy targets of mass resentment.

And at La Guardia, Delta has what amounts to a business-class lounge, with computer stations and monitors for checking stock prices; at US Airways New Yorkk shuttle area there is a cluster of cubicles for laptop users.
And spending will be managed through fixed-price contracts instead of the "cost-plus" deals that helped to inflate the price of the shuttle.It sounds sensible, in theory.
The town has a larger selection of accommodations and restaurants, but it isn't a dream destination either (read: crowded, touristy and tacky) and there, too, prices are astronomical during shuttle launchings.
Transportation on the new shuttle system is included in the price of admission to Glacier, which is $25 a vehicle for a seven-day pass.
