The Space Shuttle also was supposed to be cheap and almost completely reusable, it turned out to be one of the most expensive launchers. BFR is not the space shuttle, but I will not make any speculation before I can actually order a launch.

I mean, I love SpaceX, and I follow BFR closely, but I think it would be better without the sensationalism.
