In 2008, Elon Musk was paying 15,952 dollars to deliver one kilogram into space.
Today, this figure has dropped to less than 1,110 dollars.
By 2035, he is targeting 25 dollars to deliver it.
That’s a 99.8% decrease in less than three decades.
But the real story isn’t just in the numbers.
The story is in the reason.
SpaceX didn’t reduce costs by lowering quality, or by cutting margins.
They reduced it with one idea that changed the entire industry:
a reusable rocket.
The entire space industry was building rockets that were discarded into the ocean after each launch.
Musk said:
What if we recover the rocket and launch it again?
Everyone laughed.
Then they saw Falcon 9 land upright on a platform in the ocean.
Now the numbers are talking about the future.
By 2029, the Starship V3 ship will carry 100 tons into orbit at a cost no higher than 200 dollars per kilogram.
Meanwhile, after 2035, Starship V5 will carry 200 tons for less than 28 dollars per kilogram.
This means sending a complete satellite will become cheaper than sending cargo by plane today.
And this is where the real economic story begins.
When the cost of reaching space drops like this, entire industries change.
Communications. Navigation. Atmospheric monitoring. Scientific research.
Even mining beyond the atmosphere.
All these sectors were limited by the cost of launches.
Removing that barrier opens doors we haven’t imagined yet.
The ASTS company we talked about yesterday?
It’s a direct bet on this equation.
Cheaper satellites for launch mean broader coverage, which means a more viable business model.
What Musk is building in space is actually infrastructure.
And whoever owns the infrastructure owns everything that is built on top of it.
In 2008, space was a government privilege.
In 2035, it will be an open commercial industry.
This isn’t just an engineering achievement.
It’s a shift in who owns the future...
