With working Starship, it's much easier to put industry on the Moon. The first product could be oxygen from the rocks, which could outcompete Earth-based oxygen for refueling on LEO. We actually seem to have more and more need in the space-based industry. Not only unique products requiring microgravity to get produced. For example, right now we need a lot of data centers - and those could be placed in space, reducing load on Earth environment and power. And all of that increase in activity is going to go through Starships initially. SpaceX is in a really unique position. In XIX century nobody thought they'll need to use railroads to travel far and often. But there were many railroad-building companies. Now we have problem figuring out why we need cheap massive access to space. Could it be that we won't find uses for it?
