Even if we accept that SpaceX is going to Mars, wouldn't they want the IPO money to finance the Mars mission?

- philwelch 3y agoThe goal of Starship is to make Mars missions significantly less capital intensive in the first place, and to make lift to orbit orders of magnitude less expensive. This is going to open up qualitatively different commercial markets that will bring tons of money into SpaceX. They don’t even need to make money off of Mars itself; it’s more that reaching Mars requires them to actually deliver on the other stuff.
