Perhaps I misunderstood what Gwynne was saying. I thought that "launch costs" would be the cost of launching a rocket for SpaceX, rather than the price that they set for customers.

Perhaps your correct though, the quote is a bit ambiguous.

"It's saving 90% in launch costs, but we're only passing 30% of the savings along to the customer" doesn't sound very good in a press release.
