Not in cost.

Unsubstantiated .  Spacex has yet to win significant NASA or DOD contracts.

You seriously think Atlas is going to underbid Falcon 9?  And I would say the ISS resupply is a fairly significant NASA contract.

If my statement that Falcon 9 will cost less than Atlas is unsubstantiated, then that goes equally for your "Atlas beats both", in my opinion.

You can't have it both ways, Jim.  If my statement that Falcon 9 will cost less than Atlas is unsubstantiated, then that goes equally for your "Atlas beats both".    Stop making things up just to be contrary.


Thanks for providing your opinion, but if I may counter:
NASA is not monolithic and the rest of it think that the ISS resupply is not significant, since  NASA has little to risk on each flight.  It is not NASA spacecraft delivery contract.
