It’s unfortunate that we didn’t continue Apollo, and it’s unfortunate we didn’t follow Zubrin’s plans to use that very Apollo hardware to colonize Mars, and it’s unfortunate that SpaceX was founded by a racist man baby, but this is the card we’ve been dealt and it’s to our advantage to play it. Starship is going to create a new market for launches, and this will cause competition, and that competition will keep driving prices lower, and those lower prices will enable more exploration and more science.
