TIL,

SpaceX has reduced the price of orbit from around $20,000 per kg, to around $100 per kg.

The $100 estimate is based on a fully functional starship and superheavy booster right? Or is that for Falcon 9?

i think Falcon 9 is around $1500 per kg. The estimates i saw were based on the Raptor 3 engine + starship

Impressive numbers. Hoping they can fix the issues with starship and start flying production payloads this year. We can’t have space tourism soon enough.
