Comparison of the SpaceX Starship with other rockets, including the Saturn V which took us to the moon.
Saturn V cost about $1.4 billion per launch in 2022 dollars.
The SpaceX Starship system will be fully reusable and cost a fraction of that, in the tens of millions of $$$.

Max payload to standard Earth reference orbit is actually ~180 tons for Starship when it is fully reusable and ~300 tons if expendable. Latter number is the apples-to-apples number comparing Starship to Saturn V.
>100 tons to the Starlink orbit is the operational spec minimum.
