It will be interesting when we get to the point where were are deploying "supply pods" to Mars:
Basically - flinging cargo-containers of supplies of X to Mars to orbit around the planet until we arrive to harvest them...
It would appear that a Starship can launch ~33 tons per flight into orbit...
Lets get a Space Port built out where we can store a bunch of cargo containers in space - but have a launching system from our orbit to fling containers of supplies from Earth to an orbit on Mars.
Best idea would be to fling a bunch of space-station-space-port modules at Mars for assembly once robots arrive to assemble the modules.
and we develop a method to fling a container between the ports, the ports catch the containers and put them in a grid/orbit/whatever... (ideally hex shaped containers designed to attach to one another...)
