Truly this is a great moment, as glorious and inspiring Apollo's missions were, we all knew the program was financially crippling even for the USA at the hight of its economic dominance.
Starship has been designed for ongoing profitable exploration and exploitation of space.
Unfortunately we all know the nightsky we see today will be the best we'll see, Starship with lead to unprecedented cluttering of objects in LEO and beyond. Maybe Starship will prove too be so cheap that Citizen Scientists will fund their own meter array telescopes in space, imagine the views! Lets live in hope.
If Starship delivers and lives up too the hype then we may bear witness to the "democratisation" of space, now that's truly exciting.
God speed Starship and all those involved in it's development, with higest praise reserved for Elon.
