SpaceX will likely need triple the rocket engine capacity. They currently make about 300-500 Merlin rocket engines each year. If SpaceX is making 100 Starships per year then they will need 700 Raptor rocket engines for those Starships. They will also need 30 Raptor engines for each Super Heavy booster.
The first five Super Heavy Starships sent to Mars will stay on Mars.
The first few ships to Mars will have 20 to 50 people. There will be more cargo.
SpaceX will go for a 100-kilometer Starship hop right after the 20-kilometer test.
Robert Zubrin believes that SpaceX will put the first person on Mars before NASA puts the next person on the moon.
