Master Plan: What Elon Musk is Actually Building book: https://a.co/d/04C1qu8Z Abundance or Collapse book: https://a.co/d/0cQgFdGH SpaceX first planned Starship around carbon fiber, and it had already built a giant 12 meter carbon fiber test tank. Then Elon Musk switched the whole ship to stainless steel. The price was part of it. Musk said in 2019 that carbon fiber cost about $135 per kilogram, with a lot of it scrapped as offcuts, while the steel cost about $3 per kilogram (Musk's figures). Quick math (ours): the price of 1 kg of carbon fiber buys about 45 kg of steel. The physics did the rest. This 300-series stainless steel gets stronger when it is very cold, like the liquid oxygen (-183 °C) and liquid methane (-162 °C) inside the tanks; Musk put the gain at about 50% (Musk's figure). It also takes far more heat: Musk said carbon fiber and aluminum are limited to about 300 °F (about 150 °C) in steady use, while steel can handle 1,500 to 1,600 °F (above 800 °C) (Musk's figures). So only the side that faces the hot air on the way back needs heat shield tiles, and the other side can stay bare steel. And steel is easy to weld and fix out in the open. SpaceX built its early prototypes, Starhopper and Starship Mk1, in tents and outdoors at Boca Chica, Texas, and that let the team change the design fast. Labels: $135/kg, $3/kg, about 35% scrap, about 50% stronger when cold, and the 150 °C / 800 °C heat limits are Musk's own 2019 figures, not test results shown in this video. 45x is our own math. -183 °C and -162 °C are the boiling points of liquid oxygen and liquid methane.
