Build on Reusable Rocket Economics (<$1M Refurbishment)

SpaceX Falcon 9 booster refurbishment costs less than $1M. Launch costs per kg to orbit have dropped dramatically. Build the space economy infrastructure.

The Economics

SpaceX's Falcon 9 demonstrates:

• •Booster refurbishment costs: less than $1 million
• •Dramatic cost-per-kilogram reductions to orbit
• •Turnaround times significantly faster than legacy systems

What This Enables

• •Starlink satellite broadband (wouldn't exist without cheap launches)
• •Proliferated LEO constellations
• •Space manufacturing and research
• •Lunar and Mars missions

What's Needed

• •Launch services at lower price points
• •Satellite manufacturing at scale
• •Ground station infrastructure
• •Space-based services platforms
• •In-orbit servicing and manufacturing
• •Debris mitigation and space traffic management

The Opportunity

Lower launch costs unlock new markets that weren't economically viable. The infrastructure for the space economy is being built now.
