After 2040 or Never
Starship derived vehicles would not count. I will take a liberal view of what might be considered Starship-derived.
Any rocket system that can travel at least 4000km at hypersonic speeds on a (mostly) ballistic trajectory would count.
It must be a regularly scheduled flight (at least weekly), between two locations, that anyone could buy tickets on, rather than a demonstration flight.
After 2040 or Never will resolve YES at the beginning of 2041.
