SpaceX's Starship just shifted gears hard: Moonbase Alpha is now the priority, Mars takes a backseat, and the reasons why are blowing up the space community right now.

Today, we’re diving into why this makes perfect sense, how it could actually happen, and what this lunar city will look like when it starts coming together.
