As a life-long space fan, and as a SpaceX fan going back many years, I'm super happy to see any and all activity in this area. For example, I was pumped to hear that Bezos was going to turn his full attention to Blue Origin!

> [Starship] is an enormous vehicle though, designed for a different purpose. It is like comparing a freight train to a Sprinter van, if that makes sense.

It is definitely enormous, but in my mind, its most fundamental purpose is to minimize cost to orbit. The other missions: landing on Earth, Mars and the Moon: are all dependent on and follow from achieving that main goal.

Musk always over promises, but there's at least a good chance that SpaceX will get Starship/Superheavy launch costs down below the million dollars per flight level.

In that eventually happens, what would Stoke's economic model look like?

Once again, I was delighted to read about this, and truly wish your company the best possible outcomes!
