Starship is going to fundamentally change what “mass to orbit” even means
Right now, humanity measures annual mass to orbit in thousands of tonnes....and SpaceX is already responsible for more than 80% of it
Starship is being built for something completely different
The entire system is designed for full and rapid reusability.....launch, return, get caught, rapidly turn around, refuel, and fly again
Basically airline-like operations for a rocket
And SpaceX is targeting something even crazier: Starship flying once every hour within just 2–3 years
At that kind of cadence, we will go from measuring thousands of tonnes going to orbit to millions of tonnes
The scale is going to be absolutely insane
