Nice summary Chris. We are going to be the space invaders. It's hard to imagine a more ambitious project than Starship. SpaceX is building the largest flying object mankind has ever seen and plans to build as many as 3 per day.
The plan is to, literally, "invade" Mars, with thousands of spacecraft landing on the Red Planet at once. Truly incredible vision.
That said, Starship Version 2 is proving a bit disappointing, so I imagine there is a push to move on to Version 3 as soon as possible.
They have addressed many problems with the design of Starship Version 3, including Raptor 3 engines which are next level. Soon as they land Version 2...time to move on to Version 3.
