Soyuz vs Falcon / Dragon

How do you determine success?

Separated by 60 years of technology and billions in investment.

Both work and are certified for flights to the ISS and compete still.

Soyuz ( in all families) have had 963 launches. With 24 failures. Around 97.6 % successful.

Falcon / Dragon. Falcon has had 103 launches with two Failures. So 98% successful too! Dragon has only flown three times.

The killer is $55m for a seat on Dragon. And Soyuz? Currently going for $90m!! Economy class is almost twice the price of first!

Nuff said!
