SLS costs $4B/launch. It is impossible that Starship will be sold for just $1M/launch.

You've got to consider vastly different payload capacity as well.

SLS has about 50% more lift capacity to LEO based on a quick google search. But Starship still can lift 100 metric tons to LEO. How much stuff are we launching that needs SLS's lift capability that couldn't be launched across multiple launches and assembled in space?
