i guess it’s theoretically cool that Elon can build a thing for cheaper than the government can

I'm not even positive that part is really true. I mean the cost to the government is lower, but SpaceX is spending billions of dollars a year. We don't really know what starship or their lander costs them to make. All these Musk fans always talk about how much cheaper it is, but I'd like to see the numbers.
