Nobody is seriously suggestion pooling humanities resources for terraforming.
Terraforming is the job for furture martians using martian resources.
Colonization will be accomplished on an irrelevantly small sum. Scale of a military procurement program..

Saturn V production ended in 1968 sadly. Johnson fucked over Apollo too although Nixon was a cunt who finally killed her.
Interestingly enough, Saturn V production capability was maintained until 1974, which is also the year that the Soviet N1 was finally cancelled. Some speculate that the Saturn V was basically kept on life support in case they needed it again if the N1 worked

Falcon 9 Block 5 has flown 111 times, with a success rate of 100%. It has landed 101/104 times, giving its landings a success rate of 97.1%.
Applying this to Starship, would you trust your life flying to orbit on this? How about performing a propulsive landing? I think I would desu.
Also a reminder that in two of the three failed landings, the Falcon 9 landed intact but just missed its target. So one could argue it’s landing success rate is 103/104, or 99%.

So what’s stopping Elon from using Starship to point 2 point land 500+ soldiers in Ukraine in half an hour?
