SpaceX CEO Elon Musk anticipated cheaper flights to space with his Starship rockets in a presentation at the company’s facility in southern Texas, while highlighting the necessity of human beings colonizing multiple planets and moons.
In just two to three years, Starships will be able to reach orbit at just $10 million per flight, Musk said during the presentation. The $10 million cost estimate includes all expenses involved in launching a Starship and could be lower if fixed costs are excluded. As more Starships launch, Musk predicts prices to become even cheaper.
