Insurance is running in the 10 to 15 percent range.

Just think, someone launches a $100 million PAYLOAD on
a certain rocket, only after someone writes a check
for $15 million to the insurance agent.

90% even 99% (shuttle reliability) is not good enough.
To be considered regular transportation and drive down
the insurance rates, the success rate has to be in
99.999% (1 in 10,000).

Even so, insurance will only drop to 2% in the next 10
years until the INDUSTRY, not just a company or a
rocket, has a clear track record...eventually the
percentage might be light insuring a car if the space
vehicle is reusable and reliable as a car or 747.
