It’s a real shame if SpaceX’s technology gets co-opted by the US military, because then any point to point Starship trajectory needs to be treated as a hostile ICBM, even if it’s just passenger transport.
Not joking here. At my old startup, we had made significant progress in executing something along those lines. It was technically feasible, but neither economical nor relevant for that time, so the concept had to be ditched in the semi-prototype stage.
