How to pay for it....Smaller vehicle. Sub-scale BRF confirmed. Small BRF can do "greater Earth orbit activity."We want to make F9 and FH and Dragon redundant.
Construction of first BFR begins Q2 of next year, 2018.Complete ship and be ready to launch in 5 years.5 years seems like a long time for Musk.OH.... AND THAT'S TO MARS! 2 CARGO BFRs to Mars in 2022. And 2024, 4 BFRs.First two find water. Second four construct prop depot.

It has something to do with the window of opportunity needed for Lynk to gain a foothold in the market before Starlink V2 is operational.However, dredging up a post from back in 2017 is certainly a new level of…dedication?
