What makes me most excited about Starship. Is not the first iteration. Of course, I will be ecstatic when it finally goes into space. But I cannot wait for version 2!

Version 2 [0] has a diameter of 18m and an astonishing payload.

Whilst V1 will change space launches forever. I think that V2 will become the most versatile of space vehicles. The capacity so large that it would be able to launch a copy of the ISS by itself. [1].

I think V2 will usher in new capabilities of manufacturing in space, space mining on asteroids and off worlds, interstellar way stations (planet hopping across the solar system) and the ability to launch a global coverage of Starlinks in 1 launch instead of 24 falcon 9 launches [2].

So yes, while V1 changes the game and puts SpaceX at the forefront of space and rockets. Once they turn their attention on V2 and that launches. Absolutely everything changes and true infrastructures can then be built and once an infrastructure to the end of the solar system occurs. We can only imagine what humanity looks like.
