>>If you have a specific criticism of why starship won't work
Oh, it will work alright. What won't work is any economic justification for establishing a Mars colony, nor any economic model for sustaining one. How do the Martians participate in Earth's economy to pay for even cheap shipment of goods to Mars? How do they pay for all the R&D to even create their Mars colony habitats/etc in the first place? It's not going to get done.

Mars colonies aren't happening but Starship IS HAPPENING, so logically the true purpose of Starship must be something other than colonization. Something that could make SpaceX a lot of money, something that requires an absurd amount of mass in LEO... BRILLIANT FUCKING PEBBLES I'VE BEEN SAYING IT FOR YEARS THE MADMEN ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO WIN WORLD WAR THREE BEFORE IT EVER STARTS. PAX AMERICANA FOR A THOUSAND YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!
