You just have to love the ambition of it, right? I have no idea how this makes money, there are a lot of things that /could/ make money eg Starlink. But 🤷‍♂️ it’s a huge gamble to commit...

Delivering payload to orbit is in high demand. Also, it’s a fully and rapidly reusable rocket so it will decrease the cost of payload to orbit by several orders of magnitude. They’ve made a lot of decisions to cut costs including using stainless steel instead of an expensive alloy and using methane instead of more expensive rocket fuels. Also they have a production factory on site and will benefit from economies of scale by mass producing large numbers of starships.
