With the Starship the price to get a 100 ton object to orbit or one that is greater than 5 meters in diameter will suddenly become possible. Something previously cost infinity dollars will then be whatever price SpaceX charges. This is a decrease.
- croes 2y agoThings you don't do, no matter why, cost $0. My Rolls Royce which I can't afford is a lot cheaper than the car I can afford which got more expensive than my previous one.
- elif 2y agoThat's not true because your lack of a rolls Royce has forced you into buying a Kia, and not only suffering the cost of that vehicle, you are paying the lost utility and comfort of the rolls Royce. Similarly, space operators who can't launch goldie-locks efficiency payloads are paying for multiple inefficient small loads instead.
