Population growth - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_growth
Global human population growth amounts to around 83 million annually, or 1.1% per year. The global population has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to 7.616 billion [3] in 2018. It is expected to keep growing, and estimates have put the total population at 8.6 billion by mid-2030, 9.8 billion by mid-2050 and 11.2 billion by 2100.
OTOH, Elon Musk is right now talking about a single Starship carrying 100 people will be capable of 1000 flight per year. 10 ships for a million people. Production of Raptor engines is the constraint.

He's amazing. Paraphrasing, 'the best part is no part, the best process is no process.' 'The Tesla will work on Mars, maybe we'll take a Boring machine.'
