What makes you think Starship isn't going to Mars?
Cryo boiloff for long duration missions hasn't been solved, for one. Have you seen how much it vents just sitting on the pad?
Fair enough. Starship is still in its infancy though so I wouldn't completely give up hope yet.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be proven wrong and see it succeed, but it takes a LOT more than welding together a steel soda can with engines to get there.
I get your point, but isn't that essentially what any rocket is? Lol
