Oh crazy. Plan to "discontinue" Falcon and Dragon before BFR first flight, thanks to reusability.

Docks with the ISS, makes the ISS look tiny  ::)

2022 Mars cargo landing!!!

2 landings same time(ish)

6-9 months till they start building the first ship.

Legend

2024 goal: 2 cargo landings and 2 crew landings.

Oh so they are doing suborbital hops on earth.  :P

( i didn't like this idea)

End of the show. Pretty awesome.

Seems like that last bit was just a far off possibility to get people interested, not something actively being pursued.

It's crazy to me that 2024 is STILL the goal for humans on Mars. That date hasn't slipped for ~3 years now which is awesome.

Legend

Also crazy that they're betting the farm on BFR.

It's insane that they're going to "cannibalize" their own products to make this possible.

Tooling for BFR has already been ordered. Full construction should begin in 6-9 months. Wow.

BFR might stand for big fudgy rocket, which is probably the most amazing thing about this ;D
