Original Note:
The costs presented are not correct. They should be more like: 2010: $10,000 per kg 2024: $2,000 per kg https://x.com/robert_zubrin/status/1862850686297522289?s=61&t=KvQcMnuSNFzBavNd53ktQA And that 2024 number is likely SpaceX internal cost for Starlink. Rideshare is $6,000 per kg: https://rideshare.spacex.com/search?orbitClassification=1&launchDate=2025-04-01&payloadMass=100 A dedicated Falcon 9 is just over $3,000per kg : https://www.spacex.com/media/Capabilities&Services.pdf
