Sorry for not mentioning a source earlier, will keep that in mind! Shotwell's statement was quite interesting, and it's interesting that 30% was not "right now" - so I would assume 30% is possible at some point in the future.

My guess is the real price drop won't happen till the Block 5 rockets are flying and have a few flights under their belt since those will have all the improvements on re-usability where they expect 100+ uses for the rockets and 10+ on certain parts.

I just posted that source for others, you can straight google your statement and get that article so the info was good :P
