Science upside for Starship
It's kind of funny that we are on the verge of having too much launch capacity. Right now, SpaceX fills their launch schedule with Starlink satellites, as nobody can produce satellites for launch fast enough to fill their launch vehicles at the cadence they can be operated. And that's only for Falcon. Starship, if it works, will give us so much launch capacity that we'll be unable to fully utilize a handful of vehicles for more than a decade.<p>Every satellite today is at the end of a long production chain with lots of bottlenecks, finding funding for launch being only one of them. We'll need assembly lines of them to feed this rocket.
