Von Braun wrote this book in 1948.
Chapter 24: "How Mars is Governed":
"The Martian government was directed by ten men, the leader of whom was elected by universal suffrage for five years and entitled "Elon." Two houses of Parliament enacted the laws to be administered by the Elon and his cabinet."

They're supposed to be pretty accurate, although they forgot to add the grid fins to the first stage in the rendering above.
I expect it'll look more black and white than in these pictures, which always looks good on rockets. It's getting more Shuttle like though.
Ironic considering.....

Just a 3d rendering of the BFR on my facebook feed (I think it was the Spacex page I follow), it appears that BFR also has some pretty substantial canard wings at the front too.
The above is the best image I could with a quick google, the rendering I saw was a spinning gif of the above.

Flying a bunch of pretentious t
ts around the moon isn't my idea of inspiring, but I suppose you pays your money and you takes your choice.
It strongly reminds me of the Golgafrincham Ark Fleet Ship B from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Hopefully they'll send some of those dick head "journalists" from the press conference too.

That May focus Musk’s mind if he is getting bored, but I also wonder if he may be trying to get himself barred or sacked from the job as he can’t exactly resign his post if it’s getting a bit much ( and many a CEO only stays for a time before they exit and get on with something else so I’m not being critical)Eric Mc said:
I see no problem with sending non pilot/scientist/engineer individuals into space - especially if they are paying for their own tickets.
Air travel would be a bit restricted if you only let Charles Lindbergh types fly. At some point it needs to start opening up.
why? It’s a pointless egotistical Joy ride wooo hooo I’ve circled the moon! I agree with the others if we are going to burn the earths recourses there should be a real and benifical (to the world) reason for doing so.
