The progression for BFR was just the original idea for building a big reusable rocket that could have the possibility of colonizing Mars. Probably as a response to that presentation and many people talking about how much it would cost someone had to come up with a way to generate vast amounts...

Delayed a week. First post updated. https://spacenews.com/nasa-delays-psyche-launch-a-week/

I think you can't blame the FAA for delays with SpaceX when it takes over a year for them to complete a BO mishap investigation. https://spacenews.com/faa-closes-new-shepard-mishap-investigation/
