Maybe but to be honest Starship cost-per-pound to LEO will make re-use of 20 year old technology, in questionable states of maintenance, less appealing than starting from a clean slate in most cases.

Agreed. When it comes to flying people, the volume of a habitable starship is approximately equivalent to the entirety of the habitable volume of the ISS.

I really look forward to the heavy-lift future where full reusability means actual cheap spaceflight.
