is this the 6 engine or 9 engine version? how does that affect gravity losses?Elon has said that aero "skipping" can extend the range to 10,000 km. any thoughts on that?

The table shows the maximum theoretical range, the real range will always be shorter and will directly depend on the number of engines.
