Further to Neville’s excellent comments, another important point to make is that the Starship program is not totally autonomous, it’s part of a bigger national effort both by government ( NASA ) and private industry to expand space technology and human space travel to the Moon , Mars and beyond. Both employ millions of people and develop new technologies along the way including areas in medicine , communications and a host of other industries.
It’s not about blowing up rockets and leaving space junk floating around which is not actually correct.
I’m not a fan of “Musk the person” but a big fan of “Musk the thinker and achiever”
I too was a 60’s Space Kid during Mercury , Gemini and Apollo to the Moon and the next 10 to 20 years will be even more exciting , something my kids and grandkids will experience just like I did 60 years ago.
