Great read, thanks for sharing. One error is in this part:

“SpaceX have the next generation of Starlink satellites ready to launch on Starship, which promise to deliver ~$1tn p.a. in revenue once the constellation is complete.”

The whole market is about $1tn p.a. and Musk and Shotwell have said they hope to get about 3% of that total market to get to 30 billion $ p.a.

Still a lot of money and plenty to fund a Mars colonization effort!
