Even more important than BFR's size will be its cost. SpaceX says the Falcon Heavy will cost about 90million$ per launch but aims to make BFR cheaper than that — possibly a lot cheaper — because it will be 100-percent reusable.

In contrast, NASA's SLS will cost a whopping 1billion$ per launch, according to former NASA deputy administrator Lori Garver.

Shouldn't that be the death knell for NASA's SLS rocket?

Rocket? It's a jobs program by the congressional space mafia for high skill workers in Texas, Alabama and Florida.

Well SpaceX is moving for a launch site in South Texas, so we be good.
