Next time please bother reading my comment if you are going to reply.

I listed spefic gains from lower launch costs that are not theoretical and directly improve the lives of everyday people.

As I said before, you don't actually want an answer here.

No I got answers. As I’ve been saying before, to which YOU don’t want to listen to my perspective. None of what you list would be halted or forfeited by the discontinuation of Starship. None of what you list would affect my personal day to day.

It is very clear YOU don’t want to consider any other perspective than “of course everything is perfect and good from Starship”.

I will gladly eat my words when it is proven otherwise.

You've made up your mind so I'm not going to convince you. I'm only trying to debunk that for the sake of other readers.

More precise, more timely weather forecast will definitely affect your day. Better crop, more efficient cargo transport definitely have the potential to improve your life, your health, and lower your cost of living.

Starlink V2 is capable of gigabit internet, and it can only be launched on Starship. That can potentially affect your quality of life.

Starlink cell services can potentially save your life, if you're stranded on Everest. Maybe that isn't your game, but still.

Next time, when consider what may affect your life, think a bit deeper. The world is a lot more than just you.

Starship is not a new piece of tech, perhaps it’s refined tech but we were building rockets before. So the continued insinuation that we can only improve weather and gps via Starship is absolute snake oil.

Starlink also isn’t new tech, it’s just Musk’s flavor.

Yes thinking deeper and asking questions then asking how the answers can possibly be true will really affect my life. As evidenced by this thread where Starship enthusiasts are getting irritated and talking down to me. How’s the advanced weather prediction up their on your high horse?
