Buzz is hilarious to me. He always stands by the microphone at these conferences waiting to speak (and is often the last question). I think a lot in the space community find it super annoying, but I just love his ramblings for the spectacle of it.I hope I'm like him as an old man.

Paul Wooster, Principal Mars Development Engineer, @SpaceX Will Address Mars Society Convention On SpaceX's Plans For Mars on August 25th
Could be BFR update?QuotePaul Wooster, Principal Mars Development Engineer, @SpaceX Will Address Mars Society Convention On SpaceX's Plans For Mars on August 25thhttps://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/92y2sn/paul_wooster_principal_mars_development_engineer/Edit to add: according to draft convention schedule talk is at 9:30am.
A walk-on presentation was given by Paul Wooster of SpaceX which highlighted the recent successful test of the Falcon Heavy launch vehicle with its potentially very large payload capacity (100 metric tons). Using the Falcon Heavy and development of an even larger Big Falcon Rocket (BFR) launcher are the basis of their ambitious plans for the future exploration and colonization of Mars, potentially launching missions to Mars within the early 2020s. SpaceX’s current landing site candidates for Mars were shown, having been chosen to provide access to near-surface ice, few landing site hazards (such as large rocks), and enough space for potentially growing a sizeable outpost. The ice sites are in high mid-latitudes and the search for lower latitude candidates, which are preferred, continues. Previously, MEPAG had been told that SpaceX could transport for-fee payloads to the Mars surface. In response to questions, Paul iterated that there is likely to be capacity for secondary payloads on either the Falcon Heavy or BFR launchers, although details remain to be negotiated once the launcher capabilities are firmly established.
