Starship is about half a century ahead of the counterfactual without SpaceX and NewSpace. Maybe a century.
ApoStructura@ApoStructura· Oct 18, 2025Starship HLS is going to have 135x the living volume of the Apollo LEM!
Sci-fi shows from 10y ago imagined future landers would be ~10x larger than the LEM, but we’re skipping over an entire generation and going straight to giant multipurpose ships.
SpaceX is 20 years ahead.

Humanity was on a path of increasing launch cost and diminishing capability, so it might never have happened.
SpaceX is an attempt to change that, but we still have a very long way to go to make life multiplanetary.
