Starship is targeting $50-$200/kg or lower if they are successful.
$30m is $200/kg for full starship capacity (150T). AI1 is volume constrained.
where you’re getting $4.5 million for 150kw of solar. Space will be more expensive, but it’s $1.1-$1.5w in the USA right now at large commercial scale on land
$4.5m is standard space GaS solar cost. SpaceX does claim $3000/w. $450k. 1MW solar in US is under $1m. Add 16 hour battery 2mwh = $200k. At $1m space equipment before GPUs, is $6m equivalent terrestrial costs due to 5 year replacement. Actually 5x the cost. You can also cut earth costs by over half by installing in China or Mongolia with the same latency to US as from space.
