What development steps do you see going forward from F9R to BFR for SpaceX after Falcon Heavy with core recovery?
- Raptor upper stage for FH, Recoverable Raptor upper stage, 5 meter or greater diameter Raptor based NFR using the Raptor upper stage, BFS (tested with upgraded NFR), finally BFR/BFS
-
12 (21.8%)
- FH with crossfeed, BFR/BFS
-
3 (5.5%)
- F9/FH with kerolox upper stage recovery, FH with crossfeed, BFR
- 0 (0%)
- F9 with Raptor upper stage, FH with Raptor upper stage, Raptor upper stage recovery, 5 meter or greater diameter Raptor based NFR using the Raptor upper stage, BFS mated to NFR or NFR upgrage, BFR
-
16 (29.1%)
- FH with crossfeed, F9/FH kerolox upper stage recovery, Raptor upper stage with recovery, BFR/BFS

-
1 (1.8%)
- FH with crossfeed, F9/FH kerolox upper stage recovery, Raptor upper stage with recovery, 5 meter or greater diameter Raptor based NFR using the Raptor upper stage, BFR/BFS
- 0 (0%)
- SpaceX will develop some of these but will never go as far as BFR/BFS
-
