Remember folks Elon has a way of, er, overstating. He promised that SpaceX launches cost what, 1% of current launches? So far, they're more expensive than the Space Shuttle it replaced in NASA contracts. Their own numbers say that in the fullness of time they may be 10% cheaper. So far, not so.
Space exploration is great, we should do it, and this rocket sounds cool. We should do it even if it is expensive.
But "dirt cheap" is probably an Elon-ism, closer to "full self driving by 2018."
