Comment Comment by alphadog_78 Congratulations ISRO.. Good step in right direction.If we compare this to current SpaceX Falcon 9 (not Falcon Heavy ) http://www.spacex.com/falcon9Falcon 9 can deliver 8300 Kg to GTO and 22,800kg to LEO.GSLV MK III delivers 4000 Kg to GTO and 8000KG to LEO ( http://www.isro.gov.in/launchers/gslv-mk-iii )Mr. Musk will be delivering hell lot of stuff to space with his reusable rockets. SO, he will be very cost competitive to ISRO w.r.t launch price. parent alphadog_78 9 years ago
