BFR. Yeah…falcon…RIGHT!
Hilliary?....................
Alice!
Will never happen.
Year after year, it’s only a few year away.
Question for Elon Musk:
Since the price of a ticket to ride on the BFR is so high, don’t you think that paying customers should be allowed to smoke a joint or vape some oil up there if they want to?
The horse face traitor might go there to “have discussions “ with any Iranians he finds there.
Publicity like this keeps the employees motivated.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter to show off two new images of the BFR, ahead of the announcement tonight as to who the private passenger is that the company will fly “around the Moon.”
The images of the Big Falcon Rocket (Musk has given it another name) show a rocket with fins on the side. It also has a forward moving wing near the nose, Musk wrote on Twitter.
SpaceX said it will announce the name of the private passenger at 9 p.m. EDT Monday, in an event that will be webcast. The event will be held at the company’s Hawthorne, Calif. headquarters, conveniently located next to Tesla’s design shop, Musk’s other company.
The Musk-led space company called the announcement “an important step toward enabling access for everyday people who dream of traveling to space.”
SpaceX’s BFR
The BFR is SpaceX’s upcoming two-stage reusable spaceship system that will weigh 9.7 million pounds and be capable of taking a 330,000 pound payload to Mars and lower-Earth orbit (LEO). The BFR, announced in September 2017, will eventually replace SpaceX’s other launch vehicles, the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, as well as its Dragon spacecraft.
In April, Musk posted a picture to Instagram (since removed) of what he described as the “main body tool” for his company’s BFR interplanetary spaceship.
In an interview in March, Musk said the ship was currently being built, adding “I think we’ll probably be able to do short flights, short sort of up-and-down flights, probably sometime in the first half of next year.”
Shortly after his successful Falcon Heavy Launch, Musk said he expected a “full-scale test” of the massive rocket within the next few years. ...”

Here we are over a decade later, and Virgin Galactic hasn't had their first paying customers yet, and that's a simple airplane ride.
Hellary, Obamy, Soros.
You know that the ship is coming back, right?
In a pair of early-morning Twitter posts today, Musk unveiled new artist renderings of the BFR spacecraft. The images appear to confirm changes to BFR's crewed spaceship, including three huge fins and a black, belly-mounted heat shield. The spacecraft will also feature a deployable "forward moving wing" near its nose, according to Musk.
Thanks ETL.
Not necessarily.
Cheech or Chong?
