>There are no such leaks.
uh huh
>It can be launched from pad 39A
No, it can't.
>the pad was already built to be over sized for even the saturn V
oversize as in 1.4 times the thrust, not 3x the thrust (NASA is already upgrading 39B just for SLS block 2, which is less than half of full size ITS thrust)
>They aren't going to design a smaller version that may as well be a totally different vehicle
They are designing it to be small enough to use 39A and to be affordable, and will use it to launch their internet satellites. They are also doing away with carbon fiber for this version, because they can't get it right.
>only to the have to design yet another vehicle down the road.
wow, you're literally retarded
>"why design falcon 9 when they have to design the BFR later on???"
