So I've been having this question for quite some time: "Can any other global rocket players make their own (mini) Starship?" So many people are thinking that Starship/SH will stomp every other commercial rockets out there & I don't see any discussions of how can others respond.

The thing is while the structures of Starship/SH is more shipyard building like than any other rocket out there, it uses some of the most state-of-the-art engines ever. Not every main space power out there has the ability to develop their Raptors after all (e.g. the Chinese).

But then, not everyone needs such a big vehicle like Starship right now. Replicating current rockets' capabilities w/ something like a "mini-Starship" & built in shipyards like factories might be enough to keep the balls running.
