SpaceX is targeting a cost per kilogram of $50-$500 for Starship, representing a one- or two-order-of-magnitude reduction.
Other in-development reusable launch systems are targeting low costs as well (Terran-R, Neutron, and others).
The Whitehouse’s NASA budget request is $27.2B (up 7% from last year, pdf), including full funding for Artemis II and III and $949M for Martian sample return development.
