00:00The bare facts first. Let's take a look at what the Falcon Heavy actually is from a technical
00:05perspective. At its core, it's based on three assembled Falcon 9 first stages. That means the
00:12launch thrust is around 2300 tons. The payload to low earth orbit is up to 64 tons, depending on how
00:22many boosters you want to land or expand. To geostationary transfer orbit, the Falcon Heavy
00:28can carry around 26 tons. This puts it well above traditional heavy lift launchers like the Ariane 6,
00:36the Vulcan Centaur, the Japanese H3 or the Indian LVM3. So the Falcon Heavy plays in a higher league.
00:45And that's exactly why in the end it even replaces the legendary Delta IV Heavy, which was finally
00:51retired in 2024. A rocket disappeared because the Falcon Heavy was cheaper and more powerful.
00:58The Falcon Heavy will become more powerful.
01:00Now the Falcon Heavy goes into the head of the Falcon Heavy.
01:03Now the Falcon Heavy has been a bright and dark.
01:03Now the Falcon Heavy was the U.S. that's the name of the Falcon Heavy.
01:03Now the Falcon Heavy does not have to say a lot of respect to the Falcon Heavy.
