The private sector actually cares about keeping costs down, the government doesn't.

And to answer the moron’s question, even if we had the physical ability to terraform the Moon (we don’t nor will we ever have that ability), the Moon does not have the gravitation force to retain an actual atmosphere. So no, it’s not feasible.
Mars can’t retain an atmosphere either.
The idea that humans can form colonies anywhere other than Earth gets into sci fi territory.

As Space X pivots away from smaller payload launches they will leave behind significant market share for the taking.

Eventually, but the closest competitors are still years behind Falcon 9 performance and cost. And SpaceX will just use Starship to launch dozens of "small payloads" every launch. A coupl3 companies like Firefly and RocketLab are making good strides though. I'm not sure what to make of Bezos' Blue Origin yet. Their New Glenn will probably be a descent rocket if they can ever get it off the ground but their still way behind SpaceX.

I think within 10 years there will be a Martian settlement.
In 50 years a permanent series of domes and structures making a colony.

What is their payload capacity upon return?
Per Wiki, Starship’s payload capacity is expected to be >200 tons.

Does that actually work in practice?
I don’t know that much about launch trajectories but I’ve always assumed that every launch was fairly unique in terms of target orbit/location.

I don't really know either lol. I guess if they have enough customers that are trying to get to very similar orbits it would work.

Our species will die because of greed that leads to wars. It won't be because Earth dies.

People have been greedy and starting wars since the beginning of the human race and we haven't died yet. In fact we've grown as a species. I'm starting to think that maybe we aren't having enough wars at this point.

Mars has an atmosphere. It has dust and sandstorms all the time. It had flowing water at one point and still has minimal flowing water at certain points.
Then the planet core died. Mars lost its magnetic field and solar wind is constantly stripping away at the remnants of the atmosphere. Trying to terraform a planet like this is a losing strategy.

I don’t believe biological humans can survive for an extended period of time off of Earth. Lots of things to solve for before we even consider interplanetary existence.

I didn't want to outright shill for Rocket Labs (RKLB) but that is who I was thinking about. It appears that the "dedicated launch" aspect of a small/medium payload rocket is worth it to some companies.
