How SpaceX's Starship and Elon Musk Make All Other Rockets Obsolete?
Elon Musk always is the leader in any industry he does whether he starts first or later: just look at PayPal, Tesla, and SpaceX. So, it wouldn't be surprising if Starship will be the most powerful rocket ever created and successfully land on Mars soon.
But what does this mean for current and future rockets from other companies?
Will It Make All Other Rockets Obsolete?
On Jul 7, Jeff Foust shared a useful chart from NASA’s Launch Services Program presented at the planetary sciences decadal survey steering committee meeting, comparing the performance of launch vehicles at several C3 (characteristic energy) values.
C3 is the launch energy, imparted to the payload by the rocket during launch. The "farther" you wanna go, the higher the required C3. The more powerful the launch vehicle, the more mass it can launch with a given C3.
Elon Musk replied that:" We could stretch the Falcon Heavy upper stage & increase this a lot, but FH already covers all known payloads.
Starship, especially with orbital refilling & dedicated deep space variants (no heatshield, flaps or header tanks) will take this up orders of magnitude."

SpaceX intends to eventually replace its existing Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, and Dragon 2 fleet with Starship, which is expected to take cargo to orbit at a far lower cost than any other existing launch vehicle. In November 2019, Elon Musk estimated that fuel will cost US$900,000 per launch and operational costs per launch could drop as low as US$2 million. That's 175 times less than the cost of a delta 4 heavy launch and 45 times less than the cost of a reusable Falcon Heavy.
Compare with one of the biggest competitors of SpaceX: Blue Origin. They have had a long history of conflict. Blue Origin and SpaceX have had dueling press releases that compete with each other's announcements and events. Until now, Blue Origin boasts on the New Glenn. But it only directly competing against SpaceX's Falcon Heavy and can not make a competition with Starship.
That's is still a huge stretch in every respect here.
