Then eventually they realize that why do we need to build a separate space station, let's just use a Starship as the station

dubs say it's not flying today

In general yes, but there's some lower bound below which the facilities for maintaining the hardsuits start biting in to mission operations. I guess it depends on how quickly you can launch more modules or raw construction materials to wherever your space station is to have the hardsuits enlarge the station overall. That would mean the real threshold is launch cost/cadence and not station size. Pic related, cheap bulk launches change everything about space station design. At worst you could make the suits a bit bigger and put a standard docking port on the back of them, so the worker just climbs in and out like a small capsule.

It's a modern rendition of a 1950s design for a hardsuit. IIRC it comes from the Umbrella Ship design.

>getting humans from an orbital space station to the moon only
using moonship as a dedicated shuttlecraft even though it's like 2-3 times the size of the fucking gateway is hilariously overkill

this image says everything that needs to be said

I wish there was an updated render of Starship at the Richard Shelby Memorial Station

Ridiculously larger.

He is pushing us to the future and entirely devoted to his goal. I also think that he is a good human being. no doubt without him nasa would just be a legal embezzlement program. We wouldn't be here and we wouldn't be going to mars without him
