The warp drives in Star Trek seem awesome too, we're just behind schedule.

Starship excels at funneling tax money into Musk's various enterprises. Whether it actually reaches orbit, much less the moon or Mars, merely incidental, the sexy marketing photos for an imaginary island resort.

By the time Starship does actually achieve orbit it will likely get damaged by all of the debris SpaceX has parked around the planet.
