>>13236077Hell, with the Canadarm 2 being bolted on to the ISS itself we're now back to full Shuttle capabilities as far as the station is concerned, all from much less expensive/dangerous rockets.
>crew delivery>cargo delivery>module delivery>solar array delivery>robot arm assisted construction>seven man station aborts in one vehicleThe major value for Starship in terms of space station construction is a return to Skylab style prefabbed major station cores with habs, power, propulsion, life support, and robot arms all in one unified payload so that the station is ready to go with a single additional launch for crew... only at the price of a current smallsat launcher instead of a Saturn V.
Yes, yes, it's a Mars rocket first and foremost, but I really love Starship's potential for doing big things in LEO.
