[AFMUG] OT - Falcon Heavy

[Ken Hohhof]

I keep seeing articles about the proposed new "mega rocket" from SpaceX, how 
it would have a higher payload capacity than any current launch vehicle and 
could be used for manned missions to Mars.

I thought wow, let me look up how much bigger it will be than the Saturn V. 
Turns out, it will have less than half the payload capacity of a Saturn V. 
Granted it will be far more economical and may be reusable, so it's not 
really a fair comparison.

But still, some of that Cold War era technology was pretty impressive.  We 
can't afford it anymore though.
