You are misinformed.

Those mentioned created kerosene, gasoline, steel and railroads.

Absent their efforts America would be a much different and backward place

Your assessment of Elon is wrong. The richest man in the world is indeed the Tesla of our time. Yeah, NASA doesn't want anyone outdoing Artemis but if/when Starship gets off the pad, the payload capability will far exceed anything EVER.

My biggest concern is, will Starship and it's heat tiles be able to withstand the incredible vibration and other forces placed upon it by the booster upon its ascent?

NASA NEEDS SpaceX yet THEIR overlords hate Musk. Delicate political tug-of-war and I hope SpaceX wins out and gets that baby off the pad!
