MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 25th March, 2019) The price of taking one person to space via Russia's Soyuz is nearly twice cheaper than via US new spaceships, Dragon 2 and Starliner, Dmitry Rogozin, the head of the Russian state space agency Roscosmos, told reporters.

"My expert estimation is about $110-120 million per place [on US spacecraft]. If we sell it at $80 million, we have a pretty big margin. Our place is twice cheaper," Rogozin said.
