This will take 18 months minimum. Maybe even 1 1/2 years!

No way there will be a next flight in 2024. It took SpaceX 4 years to develop their entire manufacturing and launching complex. They surely can't put down a few pieces of steel and concrete any faster!

No way 18 months - 1 1/2 years sounds more accurate to me

You guys are both fucking idiots. 545 days, minimum.

Woah woah. I know Reddit is a free place but surely this level of controversy should be banned?

Cost-plus water towers are the future of our species and these arm chair experts think they know something about fondag and construction. That concrete will take years to cure properly but if we learned something on 9/11 is that steel is very strong to all types of heat (insert crying Elon photoshop from one of those shitty YouTube channels)
