For all you 'Heavy Lifters' out there...
SpaceX - a private company - has just announced their Big Guy:
"Falcon Heavy, the world’s most powerful rocket, represents SpaceX’s entry into the heavy lift launch vehicle category. With the ability to carry satellites or interplanetary spacecraft weighing over 53 metric tons (117,000 lb) to Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Falcon Heavy can lift nearly twice the payload of the next closest vehicle, the US Space Shuttle, and more than twice the payload of the Delta IV Heavy."
Let's go.
Let us not as a species, give up the dream of the Stars...
step by step.
