SpaceX Starship Faces Revenue vs Moonshot Dilemma

SpaceX's Starship is set to generate revenue for the first time with Flight 14, carrying Starlink V3 satellites. However, this raises the question of how much capacity will be dedicated to Starlink and how much to NASA's lunar mission. The Starlink business has generated $11.4 billion in revenue last year, more than twice the value of SpaceX's NASA contracts. NASA requires additional testing for its lunar mission, which may not be possible with ordinary Starlink launches.
