Starship is designed to land 100 tons of equipment, supplies and people on Mars, and to be built fairly cheaply (close to $100M each). If it can meet those performance parameters the first expeditions will include dozens to hundreds of people and thousands of tons of equipment and supplies. And those folks will produce hundreds of times the scientific value.
