@thomasfuchs Exactly -- SpaceX has stated sometimes that with volume, each launch of Starship could get as low as $1m for each launch.
I don't believe that at all, and that's why said "even at 100X what they estimate". Their current rates to launch a kg to space are something like 30X less than their nearest competitor.
Regardless of where the money comes from, the people at SpaceX (thousands of whom *aren't* Musk), have done amazing things to save the taxpayer money.
