Elon Musk’s ‘BFR’ is actually happening
The billionaire entrepreneur took to Instagram to show off its “main body tool”.
If you have been following the extraordinary life of Elon Musk and his aerospace engineering company SpaceX, you are probably aware of his plans to build a massive rocket that could one day transport humans to the Moon and Mars.
It’s called the BFR, which apparently stands for for Big F****** Rocket.
Now, it appears the spaceship is more than a mere concept vehicle after Musk shared a photo that appears to be work in progress.
To illustrate its enormous size, Musk placed a Tesla sedan next to the BFR component.
In 2016, Musk shared details of BFR’s fuel tank called the Interplanetary Transport System that is powered by methane and liquid oxygen (LOX).
If all goes well, he estimates SpaceX could deliver the first cargo to Mars by 2022.
