Molly O’Shea(@MollySOShea):How does insurance work for payloads on a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch? “Insurance is relatively inexpensive for Falcon 9 because it has such a strong track record, 300 consecutive launches without a failure.” “What it can’t compensate you for is the lost time, which is really the most valuable resource for a fast-moving startup.” “I'm slightly on the fence of the value insuring payloads.” — Starcloud CTO Ezra Feilden (@EzraFeilden)
