Re: Spring is coming, the windbags are starting to blow
"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)."
And double that if you don't want to re-use the BFR. Also worth noting that tons <> tonnes, despite the article using the term "metric tons" which isn't really a thing, it really ought to be "metric tonnes" for redundant clarity or, preferably, just "tonnes"
