Compared to NASA, around a 10x cost reduction. That's before reusability. >And well, can the "materials" really be recycled without loss of security/quality? They aren't going to recycle rockets, they're going to refly them. They are aiming for around 100 flights per airframe. >Is the metal more expensive than the carburant/comburant? The cost of the metal isn't the major concern, it's the cost of shaping the metal into a working rocket. But yes, fuel costs are a couple hundred thousand, rockets are tens of millions.
