00:00A pragmatic step, quick, relatively inexpensive, but also a bit improvised.
00:07Because technically speaking, the Falcon Heavy isn't a clean sheet design.
00:12It's a compromise. But the supposed simplicity comes with a hidden price.
00:17Three boosters sound simple, but they're not. Because suddenly new problems arise.
00:23Massive aerodynamic loads, complex separations,
00:26synchronization of 27 engines, and structural changes.
00:32And above all, the Falcon Heavy is powerful,
00:35but not significantly more efficient than several individual Falcon 9 launches.
