Fly to most places on Earth in under 30 mins and anywhere in under 60. Cost per seat should be about the same as full fare economy in an aircraft. Forgot to mention that.
BFR is capable of transporting satellites to orbit, crew and cargo to the @Space_Station and completing missions to the Moon and Mars.

How do you make the high g-forces of rocket liftoff comfortable for every day travel? Will it just become something we get used to?
Assuming max acceleration of 2 to 3 g's, but in a comfortable direction. Will feel like a mild to moderate amusement park ride on ascent and then smooth, peaceful & silent in zero gravity for most of the trip until landing.
Elon Musk: Making Life Multi-PlanetaryBy Leonard David March 26th, 2018Elon Musk, CEO and Lead Designer at SpaceX, presents the updated design for the Big Falcon Rocket (BFR), in a summary article published in New Space, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers.The article is available free on the New Space website.The article is a summary of Musk’s presentation at the 68th International Astronautical Congress.

I imagine that's what "summary article" means.
People who want a DOI to reference, probably.

>That's the ITS window, not BFS, isn't it?

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?
