Musk aims to get the cost of building one Starship to $5 million [1]. That sounds insane, I know, but he also aims to build about 1000 of them. When you get to this scale of mass production, efficiencies of scale kick in. Could he be wrong. I suppose so, but even if he's wrong by a factor of 10 or 20, it would still provide a tremendous value proposition for an Anti Ballistic Defense system.
