That would be a killer trip if it includes the belt. I’d pay for that!

But Cyclers won’t save much fuel. Starships (or their descendants) still have to accelerate and decelerate the same, and still need almost as much shielding (a solar flare during descent once you’ve left the cycler is still deadly). Most of the starship mass isn’t radiation shielding, it’s reentry shielding, tankage, engines, etc.

But once we get to the Cycler stage I think fuel costs will be low on our lists of concerns anyways.
