True shuttle launch costs are about $200 million according to
high mucky-mucks giving talks here, not the $20-30M suggested.  The
lower figure may be the bargain basement rate NASA charges current
users.  Rates for future launches have already gone up and will
continue to do so until NASA recovers full costs (except development)
around about the late 1980's.
