Well, mostly it’s technical data, and even that’s more like background information and high-level overviews than how to “use” anything. The concrete takeaways are intended for just one group: “Potential Starship customers can use this guide as a resource for preliminary payload accommodations information.”
Even for a much higher altitude of orbit, the Starship still purports to carry up to 21 tons. That number is large enough to include virtually all the different satellite models ever launched or the entire Apollo lunar lander unit. And the user guide (seen below) offers a tantalizingly real call to action, like any piece of sales collateral: “For payload specific loads or rideshare loads assessments, contact sales@spacex.com.”

NASA and SpaceX Planning to Send Astronauts into Space From the US in May | Travel + Leisure
The last time American astronauts took off into space from an American spacecraft was the space shuttle mission in July 2011.
An American astronaut hasn’t launched into space aboard an American rocket and spacecraft from U.S. soil since 2011 — and that's about to change.
Looking toward a mid-to-late May launch date, NASA said in a statement it plans to launch the astronauts aboard the SpaceX Demo-2 test flight, the first in what will become a series of manned flights. These are all part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program.
