Elon Musk: Starship 3 will cost less per flight than Falcon 1 but has 400 times the payload.
“One of the most profound things is that Starship 3 will cost less per flight than Falcon 1. That’s the difference between a fully reusable rocket or an expendable rocket. The fully reusable rocket with low-cost propellant and autogenous pressurization actually costs less than a tiny expendable rocket.
Falcon 1 is about half a ton to orbit.
The Starship 3 will be 400 times more payload for less than the cost of a Falcon 1.
Ultimately, I think we might be able to get the cost per flight to Earth orbit down to around $2 or $3 million. These are unthinkable numbers. Nobody ever thought this was possible but we’re not breaking any physics to achieve this.”

COMMUNITY NOTES: artistic license was committed here. Zero gravity water would have a more levitating effect. Thus also the hallway walk. No need to get you all in a bunch. PerhapsI can spin this fast in the next video to simulate a G force.
