    I love such curve-fitting techniques. By 2025 we can launch 1t into space for a few cents, if we follow the purple line.

      It’s also absurd that the fit line dives down to be cheaper and earlier than an optimistic projection that will likely move further to the top right as time progresses. That’s a chart with an agenda, not an analytical regression.

        I think this actually is a linear regression plotted on a log y graph.

        Which a linear regression is a bad choice for something that must be asymptotic at best.
