I read a bit more and the price is a bit higher then I initially assumed. The planned marginal cost is 17 million for SpaceX as you need a multiple launching to bring the fuel up.
17 million buys you the Starship (so that it can travel a while to the asteroid) and 6 launches to get the fuel up.
That’s the capability that Elon expects to exist next year.
Interesting.
