Starship is what you get when you invest tens and tens of billions into spacetravel with no expectation of profit or scientific gain.

It's pretty amazing, but I'm really hoping development will be finished before all the investors realize there is really no way to earn money from it. Starlink was an amazing scheme to extend the lifespan, so I'm sort of hoping there will be another trick to get more venture capital to burn.

Reminds me of when the internet became a thing and people were saying, there's no way to make money from this.
