Lunar rides via SpaceX

Speaking of SpaceX, I have not previously noticed this document on their website: Falcon Launch Vehicle Lunar Capability Guide (pdf). It is presumably aimed especially at GLXP participants.

The Falcon 1 page and the above document (and also the Falcon 1 Data Sheet (pdf)) give details about the Falcon 1e that will be available in 2010. The mass to LEO (185 km circular) increases from 420 kg (926 lb) to 1010 kg (2220 lb), while the price goes from $7.9 M to $9.1 M.
