> The value to humanity of Starship succeeding at its goals is extremely high.

If humanity agreed with this statement, humanity would fund the program directly through investment, donations or taxes, the same way we fund roads and schools which we also value highly.

...Starlink and SpaceX are funded through investments and taxes. When they launch a non-profit's satellite I guess, indirectly, through donations, too.

Also, what? Why is the funding source a measure of value?
