¿Por qué no los dos?

Even if a significant portion of SpaceX's revenue comes from Starlink, deploying the constellation still requires launches, and plenty of them. The article doesn't touch on it, but I believe Starlink profits are bankrolling a portion of Starship development.

Exactly, there’s nothing saying a company has to do just one thing.
