I recently watched a video from SmarterEveryDay where he showed one of his talks about his criticisms of Artemis III. One of the points mentioned in the video is that Artemis would require refuelling in earth orbit in order to make it to the moon, and apparently AT LEAST 15 different starships would need to be launched in order to transfer enough fuel if they carry on with the current plans. I think this is probably some infrastructure being created in preparation to create the rockets needed for the refuelling. While i doubt its the main reason, its definitely a motivation.

One small comment about the video- your graphics depicts Elon’s vision as a lot of starship + super heavies. In reality, however- few super heavies are needed as they RTLS immediately after launch and the Starships stay in orbit or go to a different planet. There will most likely be a ratio of at least 10:1 super heavy to Starship (my guess). Otherwise good video.

Although some principles of mass production were known, even in the ancient world, Henry Ford is rightly given the title “father of mass production” for his leading edge methods of production line assembly of pre-manufactured, high accuracy parts. He even applied his methods to mass producing ships, an incredible feat. However, I think even he would be amazed at the systems being developed by Spacex to mass produce some of the most complex machines ever devised. It is truly amazing. I have been a precision engineer for over 50 years and have designed and made special machinery, press tools and plastic moulds that I am proud of, yet I look at what Spacex are doing and it makes me feel as if I’ve just been pottering around in a shed all this time. What Spacex designers and engineers have achieved since March 2002 is nothing short of mind blowing.

The military already wants to buy and operate their own Starship launch pad, boosters and starships.

Because that's basically what they will need to do if they want to have any kind of hope of getting to hundreds of these things. I could imagine where they have this entire building and then 100 feet or maybe 10 feet 50 feet I don't know over, they build another building that's exactly the same and then off to the side just having rows and Columns of the storage facilities.
