Okay, Mr Musk, I know that billionaires have to be outrageously upbeat in everything they say, but you are really pushing things.

The Saturn V already had a payload of 140 metric tons. If you're doubling the thrust and can only add 10 metric tons to that, then I don't see that you're doing all that good.

Obvious troll is obvious. But I'll feed you a little for the benefit of others who come through these parts.

Saturn V lifted 140tons and you threw away the rocket.

BFR lifts 150 tons and you get the rocket back (with it's expensive engines).

That's good.
