Elon Musk said to BBC, "Once we make this work, it is an utterly profound breakthrough in access to orbit". He further said, "When aircraft first came along, they were viewed as toys. When the Wright Brothers first took off, most people were riding horses; they would not have imagined that there would be tens of thousands of aircraft flying to every corner of the world. So, this really could be a profound situation, and we really can't imagine all the use-cases at this point".
The world is really looking forward to this new and adventurous journey.
