SpaceX’s literally destroyed the cost to orbit so much even you can afford the ticket to ride on it in the future - For decades, launch cost to low Earth orbit was roughly 18,500 per kg - Falcon 9 brought that down to around 2,700 per kg - Falcon Heavy pushed it closer to $1,400 per kg ➝ Now Starship is targeting a 99%+ cost reduction When the cost of reaching orbit falls by orders of magnitude, space stops being a rare government program and starts becoming industrial infrastructure Starlink, orbital manufacturing, lunar cargo, AI compute, and Mars all depend on one thing: getting cost to orbit as close to zero as possible That is why Starship matters so much....It is not just a bigger rocket It is the cost reset that opens the next economic frontier
