You might have heard that SpaceX is working on a giant rocket. They’re working on another one that’s significantly bigger, called the BFR, for Big Fu*kin’ “Falcon” Rocket. It can carry more than It’s an ambitious project. It will be fully reusable, which will drastically cheapen the cost of putting objects and people into space (even beyond what SpaceX has achieved so far). Elon Musk is building it because he wants to send people to Mars, but the rocket has the potential to do a lot of other stuff too: According to Musk, not only will it will be able to deliver a payload “anywhere in the solar system”, it will also be able to take people from place to place on Earth. SpaceX’s vision is to offer rides to the other side of the planet in around 30 minutes. The rocket would take off from somewhere near a city, launch at sub-orbital speed into space, coast for a few tens of minutes, re-enter the atmosphere, fire its rockets and land at the destination city. Essentially, it would be an ICBM FOR PAS*ENGERS. COMMERCIAL ECONOMY FLIGHT TICKET, offering a faster, competitive alternative to air travel. This boggled my mind, so I decided to do a whole heap of napkin math to answer the question: HOW CRAZY IS THIS? Is it even crazy at all? For reference, we’ll peg the price of an economy international air travel ticket at around $1200 USD. Is it possible to bring the cost of Let’s figure it out. We’ll start by looking at Musk’s estimate for a ticket to RIDE THE BFR TO MARS, which is $500,000, and scale it for the different logistics of going to Earth instead. (He’s variously used estimates of a $200k or $500k Mars ticket at different times; it’s unclear where the price on latest scaled-back version of the BFR would fall). It’s not a given that this price estimate can be taken at face value, though we’ll see later that it is plausibly realistic. Since Musk’s estimate is the only cost figure from SpaceX about the BFR at this point, it’s the one I’ll use for this article.
