One of the most underrated things about Starship isn't just that it's bigger It's that it's designed to completely rewrite the economics of spaceflight SpaceX, Falcon's reusability already removed roughly 85% of the historic cost of launching to orbit Starship aims to deliver another order-of-magnitude improvement on top of that And it's not just about cost.....It's also about throughput Falcon Heavy can deliver up to 64 metric tons to orbit Starship Version 3 is targeting roughly 100 metric tons to orbit Future versions could potentially push that to around 200 metric tons The philosophy behind all of this comes from the Elon's "The Algorithm": 1. Question the requirements 2. Delete parts and process steps 3. Simplify 4. Accelerate 5. Automate You can see this philosophy perfectly in the evolution of the Raptor engine What began as a complex engine evolved into Raptor 3 dramatically simplified, more powerful, more reliable, and easier to manufacture This is how SpaceX keeps pulling ahead Not by adding complexity......By relentlessly removing it
