A fully expended Falcon 9 launch costs around $50M. A partially reusable Falcon 9 launch costs around $25M. Starship will be fully reused. It will launch a 5x larger payload than the partially reusable Falcon 9 at a lower launch cost. So somewhere in the $5M to $20M range. Starship can be fully refueled in LEO with eight tanker flights, Even at $20m per flight, that costs no more than the Atlas V that just launched perseverance to Mars, only with 40 times more mass. |
