That's what Starship is for. A giant, cheap, stainless steel space truck built by blue collar welders that will vomit out hundreds of them before returning to Earth intact to pick up some more.

The whole Mars thing is just for PR. He has a different use for it. That thing ain't ever making it to Mars.
