>It's been suggested to me that SpaceX held company-wide meetings last week to provide an update on major changes to BFR and the importance of Starlink's success. There were a number of interesting things to come out of it but I'll save those for a bit to see if any more context can be added over the next weeks.

>There is one extremely noteworthy tidbit that I have to share, though: according to the same sources, the meeting included statements implying that BFR would move from composite tankage to stainless steel tankage. It was apparently unclear if this was referring to just the Starship (BFS) prototype, all early boosters and spaceships, or a total program shift away from all-composite structures.
