How SpaceX build Starships so quickly? What's the SECRET?

How does SpaceX build Starships so quickly?
Or, Why do even SpaceX build Starships so rapidly?

In just last 4 months of December 2020 to march 2021 spacex had built and launched 4 starship prototypes- SN8, SN9, SN10, SN11 on high-altitude flight tests.
From Falcon-1 to recent Starship prototypes like SN-11, spacex has been making rockets at an unprecedented speed.
We now know that SpaceX has unlimited funding, but just because they have too much capital doesn't mean they're squandering it, which takes us to the next point, and that is SpaceX's material selection for the Starship.
Besides, SpaceX rockets are reusable as well.
Starting with cost, Elon Musk describes that carbon fiber costs $135 per kilogram, but unfortunately, 35% of the material is normally lost in the construction process, meaning that each kilogram of carbon fiber that makes it onto the final rocket costs upwards of 200, while stainless steel costs just three dollars per kilogram.
SpaceX also found that welding the large tanks needed to store the propellant was a major cost driver in the construction of rockets.
SpaceX is constantly innovating to improve and reduce the cost of production and reuse.
Next up is the construction process of SpaceX.
Engineers at SpaceX are responsible for not only designing and maintaining the rocket but also for designing and maintaining the system that builds the rocket.
Engineers at SpaceX are constantly building new devices to assist in the development of Starship prototypes.
Next is the iterative design process of SpaceX.
According to Elon Musk, “building many rockets allows successive iterations, applying a simple equation to the process: progress in any technology is the number of iterations multiplied by the progress between iterations.”
Finally, comes the workforce, which is one of the primary reasons why SpaceX can build Starships so quickly.
Elon knows that he will not live forever, and the funds will ultimately run out. The window for spreading humanity to Mars can close one day, but Musk isn't sure when. So he must squeeze through the window before it closes.

ITERATION NOT - eye-ter-RAY- SHON ... i TER RAY SHON

[TheSadButMadLad]

Downvoted for the pronunciation of iteration.

[adrianmoisa]

Challenging entire industries to change their status quo. And to think there's an entire subreddit with 60k users passionately hating this man... Not a spotless figure, but damn, he surely is inspirational to millions!

[blindspotspotter.]

Iterative: it-tear-u-tiv .
NOT I-tear-u-tiv

[brazenbunnies]

I am not sure about the amount of eye terations

[jflow]

Starship looks like a patched up ship with thin, warped, metal plates and seams. So yeah, I can believe it.

[titusphilip]

Because the present starships are not built for space testing.for 10km or 20km atmosphere testing dont require special material to withstand harsh space environment. It's just testing the propulsion thrust for reliable landing and take off

[olavoneves]

Elon musk have this desire to travel into space like no other one...beliave in that.

[questioneryusefB]

Thats because those who fund them are not from traditional industries.

[knam]

they have doraemon and time machine so they can have some pyramid builder as their workforce

[thomasdewire]

Informative, but if you are going to use the word "iterative" over and over, please learn to pronounce it properly. That repetitive mispronunciation took a lot of the shine off the narrative.

[sixbrokeneggs]

4:25 Did you ha a stroke right there xd

[dennisgunn]

you must mean -120ºC not 120ºC. The word is "iteration" not "I eat a ration". "iterate" sounds like "literate" without the L. Nice voice and delivery though.

[walmartjesus]

Wtf no they aren’t. Especially not orbit capable ones.
