If BFR is as successful as Musk hopes (_especially_ around the reusability aspect), I think BFR would replace the F9 and Falcon Heavy as a lift vehicle.
If BFR is actually fully reusable it would be cheaper to launch than the F9 (due to the non-reused second stage).
- spiraldancing 9y agoMusk has actually said that he expects BFR to be cheaper to fly than their original Falcon 1 ... meaning prices in the $5-10M range, as opposed to $60+M for F9.
- ygra 9y agoI think that was referring to cost per kg to orbit, not cost per flight.
