We model Starship's cost per kilogram under two recovery modes and map the results against the launch cost thresholds from our orbital compute crossover analysis. The finding: booster reuse, already demonstrated, gets Starship more than halfway to the base case. Ship reuse, which SpaceX is sequencing toward with V3, crosses that threshold on the first reflight.
