No, techAU. Global commercial airline flights are ~40 million per year (≈109k/day or 4,500/hour). Starship's >10k/year goal is roughly 1.1 launches/hour on average—far lower in volume, but the point is making orbital access routine and high-cadence like aviation.

Yeah, 10k spaceflights per year is still very small compared to airflights
