Quilty Analytics estimates that the internal marginal costs of a Falcon 9 - not counting corporate overhead, etc. - is now down to about $15m/launch, and DECREASING with each launch above 100/year approximately.
@@ashleykerlin it's a possibility. But not forget, the starship uses the nearly all methane and oxi to reach that speed. It would take also much more of them to reduce from 27000kmh to a speed of lets say 8000kmh
@robertwolf2839 true. The Falcon boosters that are returning that way are doing 8000kph at separation, slow during boost back, accelerate back to 8000 before the re-entry burn slows it to 5300. Starship is stage 2 and will be going now than 3 times that. Clearly I didn't think through my question.

There were very early SpaceX animations showing entry and landing of a second stage, but they pulled those. Starship will be the first; hopefully, Stokes will also succeed.
@@dphuntsman we don't know if either will succeed for sure. We've seen aerospace companies go under right before a major innovation. (For instance that company that was gonna make satelite internet in the early 2000s
imho - this stream has bg music - but it shouldn't. Dont get me wrong - right now i hear heavy electronic tunes which i would much enjoy on a rave or something - but it doesnt go well with practically static shots. Evem when music mild - its also unnecessary in my opinion. I think thats the reason people keep the nasaspaceflight stream on backround way more - because it has soft audio from the site that works like a nice white noise. (and because nsf existed for much longer, but still) And here when nothing is going on only 30 people watching and the number doesnt seem to grow. Even tho we have original content here, that well deserve to be seen.
This is fueled by something entirely different. Methalox when burnt becomes Carbon dioxide and water vapor along with a bit of NOx. I'd argue far cleaner than the particles of sooty carbon left behind in the burning of the merlin engines of the current system we just watched.
@Viktor-lp4cn So you're a troll, trying to pretend religion is blinding you? I'm religious too but your eyes saw soot shoot out like crazy from the current Falcon 9. You know, the one we watched in this video? The Starship ploom is mostly carbon dioxide. Which forms a vapor cloud but no soot.
