The Shuttle was cheaper per ton-to-orbit than Starship though. A fair bit more expensive than Falcon still.
Evidence: the Shuttle actually brought more than 0 grams into orbit, Starship gets a divide by zero error.
The Starship is in development. The Shuttle is retired. Assuming that SpaceX doesn't decide to can Starship before operational flights begin, make this comparison again when it's retired.
Yeah if it ever gets to that point we can revisit the comparison.
Not a single space shuttle exploded during development.
Two did during the 135 operations.
So spaceship is already behind on development. Let's see how operations works out.
Usually congressmen dictate what designs and materials NASA needs to use their budget on. There's a reason the SLS is sometimes dubbed the "Senate Launch System."
