Even if starship ends up being a complete financial disaster and becomes economically viable, good on SpaceX for pushing the envelope, the lessons learned will be used in future launch platforms.
SpaceX may have been kickstarted by NASA but the amount of private money being funneled into it and the revenue now being generated by Starlink is incredible. The entire world is benefiting especially Blue Origin and all the Chinese copycats.
the fact you can now have high speed internet essentially anywhere in the world including on airplanes is wild. The estimates for revenue for Starlink this year is 12 Billion USD. Thats nearly double what Telus and Rogers make from their internet services combined.
