The Falcon 9 is already 5x - 10x cheaper than the competition.

Can you please explain where this came from. Soyuz-U 7 ton payload to LEO is about $50 mil. Falcon 9 with 13 ton payload to LEO Wikipedia lists as $61.2M cost per launch. http://www.astronautix.com/articles/costhing.htm

I was comparing with ULA, and should have clarified I meant Falcon 9h ($85 million). The domestic competition for that is Delta 4 Heavy ($435 million).
