The initial emphasis I believe will be on the BFR first stage. Getting

Can you point to a reference for this? Last I saw, Musk said the BFS
("second stage") would come first.


Oops! My mistake. On second thought, my recollection actually is the
same as yours, but it is hazy. But I will do some research. If I find
something definitive I will post it here.

If you have a link please forward.

Thanks,
