Supply and demand. I think the market for galaxies tanked today.

But these are not all cookie cutter galaxies. Some have a lot of custom work done to them. There needs to be different price ranges for them.

Sure, some galaxies are custom. Galaxies vary widely. But your basic spiral galaxy will work just fine for most people, is aesthetically pleasing, and with this new discovery they're going for pennies on the dollar. You simply shouldn't pay very much for a basic spiral galaxy these days.

I really want one of those sombrero galaxies. One that's been customized with little dingle ball solar systems dangling all the way around the brim. I wonder what one of those would cost ?

Those might run a little extra. I suspect that things like sombreros and horseheads are probably more in demand, while galaxies with supermassive black holes and quasars probably go pretty cheap.

SpaceX has its own thread, but Orbital is doing stuff too. There's a launch to the ISS at 7:40 EDT (about 30 minutes from now) from Wallops Island VA. The last one didn't go so well last year (think, boom)...
I'll probably be able to see this from home! Quote:

Fingers crossed. There have been way too many rockets blowing up lately.

Well, not exactly the production values and camera angles of a SpaceX launch...
But everything looks like a smooth launch. |
