Yes, and even $300 per kg on orbit seems rather conservative. > SpaceX can likely build and launch a fully expendable version of Starship for about $100 million. Most of that money is in the booster, with its 33 engines. So once Super Heavy becomes reusable, you can probably cut manufacturing costs down to about $30 million per launch. So, $30m per 100t is $300 kg. If Starship is reusable, the flight could cost closer to $10m. If the payload is 150t, the cost of kg is lower still. And all that is in relatively short term. |
