An Atlas V is listed as being $110-160 million. Which is about 2-3x higher than a Falcon 9 launch. With a similar payload to LEO. Blue Origin, is going to have to have cheap pricing with the New Glenn rocket in order to compete with SpaceX. Jeff hasn’t actually given it that much cash, “only” about $1 billion a year mainly by selling off Amazon shares. So he’s hardly likely to give Kuiper a massive subsidy. Especially after his rather expensive divorce.
