It is very reasonable to question why SLS was built - during much of its history there was no reason or destination and the destinations that were used changed periodically.

OTOH, Statship has a very good rationale for existing - it is required to be the size it is to support full reuse with reasonable cargo to orbit and lower the cost of launch another ten times.
