50 launches of 150 kg at $2.5 million each, I suppose. SpaceX can do 13,150 kg for $50 million. Just one Falcon 9 launch is almost double their entire backlog, if it even exists. I doubt Astra can be profitable at that price and they're like four times more expensive than SpaceX, lots of room there for rideshare and OTVs to disrupt them.

Another thing is that they're much cheaper than the Electron which is what, 300 kg for a base price of around $6 million? Not sure what's going on there, maybe it's cheaper to produce as it's not made from carbon composite or they're discounting it even more than Rocket Lab discounts the Electron.
