Where do you park ?. I love to explore this idea considering how high the bay area rentals are.
I guess this could be a faster way to payoff your student loan.

I would be esctatic if ISRO just breaks even..It's not about margins. Just Imagine the fact NASA or ISRO does not need to depend on Govt and they generating their own money and continuing their research without interruptions.
No Tax payer money going to them and don't need to depend on Congress/Senate/President/ Prime minister mood to fund them.
Where as Musk, he is a private entrepreneur. He is upping the space game like anything.
I'm not doubting whether ISRO will reach the weight range or not. It is how quickly they can reach in par with falcon 9.
As the payload doubles from 4000KG to 8000KG (to be in par with Falcon 9 ), You need to add more fuel and which increases the cost and total weightage of the rocket.
This additional weightage on the rocket will hamper the margins.
I'm not saying anything negative here and they have lot of work cut out for them because of re-usability of Falcon 9.
Overall, this is very good for us as competition drives the cost down and more and more services at lower cost.
