Reason 1: General Fandom Reason 2: Consider SpaceX's Falcon 9 record in terms of flight pace, total mass delivered, etc. This gives ample reason for optimism that Starship will ultimately work... though the flight test record of Starship so far has been notably spotty. SpaceX does not seem inclined to give up anytime remotely soon, is bringing in tremendous cash flow via Starlink and has nearly unlimited ability to raise capital. Musk presumably has enough influence in Washington to keep the FAA on board... and that is the only permission they need to keep trying as long as it takes.
