Ya, that would get costs down further if they were able to amortize it over a larger quantity.

We could also get them pretty far out with starship refuelling, but refuelling a starship back to full capacity to then go somewhere would raise the cost a lot. But imagine a 7x 8m hexagon one sent out into deep space. That would be super expensive though, we wouldn’t get a lot of those haha.

This is all a massive big IF though. Starship being fully reusable like they think is still very far from a given, so none of this might come true in our lifetimes.
