    Nah, they call it “Block 1/2/3” for the versions, but media often uses V1/2/3 for version since it’s easier to understand

    Generally v* for versioning is used a lot, Germans just had the v stand for vergeltungswaffe because it sounds badass or some shit. Wouldn’t be surprised if Elon adapted this naming though

      If this flight doesn’t go well, SpaceX has a “large pipeline of V3 ships and boosters in the factory,” Musk wrote on X.

      Is what I am referring to mostly.

      And a capital V is a bit different from using v3 for example.
