the bfr spacecraft is absolutely enormous.olume of it is not that different to the international space station and he is suggesting it can go to mars, the moon and the international space station. the challenges is that each one of those missions are quite different. so i would be surprised if this one size fits all is really the best way to do it. musk even sees the bfr as being the basis of earth travel. his rockets can fly into space and drop anyone on the planet within the hour. because making money out of mars might be contentious. i suspect elon musk is driven by a vision, a notion, of really colonising mars, something some people would consider science fiction. the driving force behind nasa's vision of going to mars, the european space agency and the uk space agency, we are driven by the scientific question of understanding is there life on mars, was their life on mars? perhaps those things won't not sit side by side, we will have to see. a new space race could be different to the last. elon musk‘s plans do envisage col
