From Millennium Falcon to Falcon 9 – big
think
While fuel dominates the mass at lift-off, it
contributes only a tiny fraction to the cost of the launch. What many do not

of the transport costs go.

norms and behavior that they see as standing in their way: they want to make
Americans and European less interested in human rights, more accepting of

oligarchs.
