Elon Musk, boss of SpaceX and noted flamethrower enthusiast, is a bit of a bizarre character. He has a habit of tweeting random stuff (that sometimes gets him in trouble), and that’s part of the reason a lot of people love him. In a spontaneous late-night tweet on Monday evening Musk announced that he was renaming SpaceX’s highly anticipated BFR.
The BFR (which stands for ‘Big F-cking Rocket’ or ‘Big Falcon Rocket,’ depending on who you ask) will now be called “Starship.” Well, sort of. After tweeting his initially plans for the new naming scheme Musk quickly clarified that only part of the BFR will be “Starship,” while the rest of it will be called “Super Heavy.”
