Description I've integrated several charts previously posted along with text from Elon Musk's IAC presentation document.

How the architecture reduces the cost to Mars via full reusability, propellant loading on orbit, using the right propellants, and propellant production on Mars. Note the timeline middle of the chart and the costs at the bottom.

You can watch Elon Musk's full presentation from my journal, here: Making Humans a Multiplanetary Species
