Lots of cool info out of yesterday.

Hope to do a 24 hour relaunch demo next year. Launch, land, pop on a new second stage+payload, launch again.

This year should have boosters get to 3-4 reuses. Next year boosters should be hitting 10 reuses.

Boca Chica is now exclusively for BFR. No Falcon launches from there.

Working on Falcon second stage recovery. Will be adding heat shields and such for testing. Still hopeful the marginal cost could get to around $6 million for F9 launches.

Around 300 future F9 launches are expected before BFR has fully taken over. Plan to build 30-50 block 5s.

Block 5 is essentially the 6th iteration of the F9.

Let's go!!!
