SpaceX Starship vs Boeing/NASA Contractor Space Launch System (SLS). SLS: • Launches: 1 • Reusability: None • LEO Payload Capacity: 95 Metric Tons • Estimated Current Cost per Launch: $2.2 billion Starship Block 1: • Launches: 5 • Reusability: Complete, minus hotstaging ring • LEO Payload Capacity: 100 Metric Tons • Estimated Cost per Launch: $200 - $300 million Starship Block 2: • Launches: 0 • Reusability: Complete • LEO Payload: 150 Metric Tons • Estimated Cost per Launch: $15 million - $100 million Like the Buran vs the Space Shuttle, the SLS is nowhere near a true competitor for Starship. Even in the current expendable mode, Starship is significantly cheaper than SLS while being equally capable.
