Yes, agreed. When you look at the cost comparison of a Saturn V launch to BFR, it's insane. Probably a bit of Musk hopeful thinking, but still.
But sure, I'd love to see impulse power and warp drive, too!
Personally, while I loved the shuttle missions, I realized that it was a step forward and a step back. I love this era.
