> What does Starship reusability mean for $/kg to LEO?

All we can say is under $1,000/kg. Which is conservative, that limit being about two thirds that of Falcon Heavy’s theoretical cost to LEO in a reüsable configuration.

We can't give any estimate. The costs depend on how many times the stages are reused. They have targets but we don't know what will actually happen.
