If you want to compare SLS and Starship, just recall that the SLS started development after the Falcon 1 flew and at that time SpaceX had been talking about a SuperHeavy for 6 years. Work on the Raptor engines started around the same time. If you hold them to the original launch date, in terms of "time since deal signing", we already would have seen the return of the 9 people who paid for a flight around the moon on a Starship.
In the grand scheme of things, I don't care about 11 billion as much as I care that it's done and moving.
Also, I cannot find a wikipedia citation for $3 billion/launch. I found one for $2.3 billion/year for SLS launches.
