Slightly surprised this hasn't been posted yet: https://www.instagram.com/p/BkVgkN-gH9A/

I'm surprised the violinist is playing left handed. Even left handed violinists usually play right handed. So this is only slightly more likely:

elonmusk Zero gravity violin concerto in Earth orbit before departing to Mars
I can't make that geometry work, if I assume that's in a BFS, even if the windows have grown considerably.
Making her very, very short might help.
Perhaps a glimpse at some sort of orbital depot?

As a nitpick, a concerto can't be by one performer.

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

Yup. Definitely an old image.

Or, maybe a new image.  ;)

Hmm, maybe a cosplay costumer to go as well? The skirt cannot be assured of that flow. Air would move the payer. Wire stays in the costume may not flex enough. Memory wire and a battery pack might suffice.

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.

Whatever happened to the small scale BFR?

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.

Those are in Elon years.

Errr...  You're looking at it?  BFR was 12 m diameter in 2017...

Would you like an even smaller one than the current 9 m?

Since the T-Mobile announcement Danderman has enthusiastically been searching for reasons to stretch out the planned Starship development timeframe.

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?
