I just got a cancer diagnosis with an ugly prognosis. Wish I could fast-forward a few years to when this treatment might be proven and available!

It may be semi proven and semi available soon. The synthesis looks quite simple so they will probably knock it out in less regulated countries like India or China.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I assumed the parent was referring to SpaceX's Starship [0]. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Starship

Starship isn’t an actual starship, though.

Indeed, but the parent used a capitalized "Starships".

In any case, I think Starship's engineering, and particularly the Super Heavy booster, is bringing us a significant step closer to starships (in lower case).

Putting the capitalized 'Starship' in the same sentence with a cancer cure and superconductors plays 'One of These Things (Is Not Like the Others)' in my head.
