IIRC $5M/ship is average cost calculated assuming multiple launches. Not sure how much starship will cost in expendable mode.

- gpm 5y ago$5M is quoted as the construction cost, not cost amortized over launches. It's been given that way a few times, e.g. https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/03/inside-elon-musks-plan-to-build-one-starship-a-week-and-settle-mars/ https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/03/inside-elon-musks-pl... I think you're probably looking at a few more million in launch costs, but those aren't recovered by recovering the ship anyways.
