How SpaceX Humiliates NASA's Budget

SpaceX has revolutionized the space industry not just in terms of innovation but also cost. The iconic NASA space shuttle program cost over $209 billion throughout its lifetime which comes out to a per launch cost of a whopping $1.6 billion. SpaceX, on the other hand, boasts a per launch cost of just over $200 million which is about an eighth of the cost of a space shuttle launch. But why did the NASA space shuttle program cost so much and why was it ended in the first place. Meanwhile, how was SpaceX able to bring down the cost of the Falcon 9 so much and how is SpaceX planning to push the cost of launch down to $2 million with Starship? This video explains why NASA's space shuttle program was so expensive and how SpaceX has been able to capitalize on their strengths to bring down the cost of space flight.
