@elonmusk And you're only just getting started. Are you going to build a Starbase factory in Australia?

Nice concept. Maybe an Artificial Gravity Starship could come under Space Station Starship? This may end up being a category of its own since using one Starship as a space station is quite different from the various ways they could be used for space stations, including something like your picture.

@moonsteaders I'm thinking the disaster cargo and combat drop are probably both just P2P ships.

I'm counting variants as anything that can't be made on the same production line without changing it. e.g., Marslink has a different hatch and PEZ dispenser so can't be made on the same production line as HLS as different hatches, windows, etc. The rocket section may be the same, but not the rest.

@MarioNawfal It's hard to keep up when SpaceX is currently launching more Starlink satellites once or twice a week, and Starship will soon be launching the newer versions. Will Amazon be able to compete?

@MarioNawfal And it might be a good reason to supercharge the first Starship Mars mission.

Are there any other Starship variants not on this list?

I've been thinking about all the upcoming and potential SpaceX Starship variants on the horizon so they're listed here in this thread. Start: I count 15 variants. Let me know if you think I missed any. πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€

@twit_grim It may be that several landings of HLS happen at the start as cargo drops while the pads are getting built. Remember there is more than one ship.

@twit_grim If the landing pad build robots were sent on HLS then the Cargo versions would have somewhere to land and take off from that is safer. Agreed to use at least one HLS as first habitat.

15. Cruise Ship Starship: An imaginative concept where Starship would be transformed into a space-faring cruise liner, providing extended space vacations. This would cater to tourists looking for an extended stay in space, perhaps orbiting Earth or visiting destinations like the Moon.
