And yet no one approaches the reusability SpaceX has already demonstrated with existing rockets - something like 35 launches/landings with a single rocket.

    The record is up to 36!

    I could see the Starship story playing out like the ramp up to Falcon 9 first stage reuse, where they start with a few launches per booster with significant refurb time, then keep making block upgrades to speed it up and extend the lifespan.
