This is the full thing, the 'Starship' plus its huge booster.

The lifting and cargo capacity are vast.

The internal codename has long been "BFR" - if you can
guess what that means :-)

Musk is predicting it will crash - his development
curve always included a fair number of those. The
Starship module had numerous crashes until they
ironed-out the details. The booster is more simple,
just take his Falcon booster and make it big and
wide - large clusters of the engines he already
uses.

Starship itself can reach the edge of space all
on its own - and return for a soft landing. With
the booster under it we've got a massive launch
system that can take very large and heavy loads
to orbit - or lighter loads to the moon or Mars.

Mars IS his ultimate goal.

Building an orbital re-fueling station ... that's
the way to get to Mars. Starship gets to orbit,
tops up the tanks, and then blasts its way to
Mars. A much quicker trip (and roomier conveyance)
than anything NASA is building.

NASA tends to think in terms of little tin cans,
'demo' projects. I'd classify the ISS as one of
those. Their proposed moon 'base' is embarrassing,
a super-expensive one-off tin can. Musk, on the
other hand, is far more ambitious. Starship could
deliver rather large, modular, sections of a big
and proper moon base that could easily be
assembled on-site ... maybe even by telepresence
robots. He's also been looking into inflatable
pressure structures ... you can pack BIG ones
into Starship, inflate, then later fill them
with whatever you need.
