These were accidentally found as trailers to the original ITS animation.
Enjoy!

Copied over frrom another thread:

There are two new 7-8 minute features that follow-on the themes of the IAC presentation:
SpaceX Interplanetary Transport System – Part two


SpaceX Interplanetary Transport System – Part three


Have they been seen here before? (If so, I missed them.)

Note: Some references in them are relatively recent (e.g., F9 Block 5), so they are relatively new.

You're talking about this as if this were official, this is a fan-made clip / slide show using other people's illustrations and animations (although they are credited at the end).

Not official (and filled with typos) but cool none the less.
Am trying to source some of the content that I've not seen before.

I don't know if "fan" is the right word here...

He seems to think that nobody realizes that getting there is only step 1, and that there needs to be a complete colonization plan (with military type people in fatigues!) in place before you start launching.

It did strike me as a bit concern trollish in the beginning.

 I liked the 3 to 1 thrust to weight ratio. That thing is really going to take off.
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.

I always have agreed with this person's seeming opinion that living and surviving long term on Mars will be much harder than getting there.

F9 Block 5 can't send RD to Mars as claimed (while showing picture of FH).  FH required.
