Reusable Rockets has been one of the most-discussed aspects of SpaceX, being one of the ground-breaking companies in the space exploration industry. Falcon 9 Rocket was one of the major candidates in this aspect and SpaceX had dreams of making the rocket more and more reusable. According to the latest reports, the company has changed its mind. Now, it seems that Elon Musk wants to trade the more reusable Falcon 9 for an even better Big Falcon Rocket. Choosing his common interaction method of Twitter, Elon Musk said that SpaceX would now be accelerating development of the BFR.
The BFR has been one of the recent hits from SpaceX, as it’s expected to improve the whole reachability of the company. According to earlier reports, orbital missions using the Big Falcon Rocket were expected to get started in 2020, although nothing was specified. Even in this tweet, Musk has not mentioned when he plans to make the first launch using BFR, but it’s likely that the dates would be earlier than expected. It does not come as a complete surprise, though. There were reports that Big Falcon Rocket was the trump-card of the Elon Musk company for the future.
According to some reports, SpaceX is planning to retire the Falcon 9 rocket in the coming years. It would also be the time when the Big Falcon Rocket is ready for deployment. At that time, SpaceX can make a gradual but efficient shift to better hardware as well. Of course, it’s clear that the BFR is the long-term plan SpaceX has on the way. It is also obvious that the company can get rid of the reusability and waste-management part if the aforesaid BFR manages to offer better efficiency and reachability. Apparently, we will have to wait till 2020 to see how the acclaimed BFR performs.
