SpaceX Starship May Fly for Just $2 Million Per Mission, Elon Musk Says.
SpaceX’s goal has long been to achieve truly reusable rocket launch capabilities, and for good reason: The company anticipates huge cost savings through re-usable rocketry versus expendable launch vehicles, which SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has described as a process akin to an airline throwing away their passenger aircraft every time they complete a flight. They’ve made lots of progress toward that goal, and now frequently re-fly parts of their Falcon 9 rockets and their Dragon cargo capsules — but the Starship spaceship they’re building now should be even more re-usable.
Each flight of this SpaceX's big Mars-colonizing spacecraft will have a very small price tag, if all goes according to plan.
