Thanks Glen
Well detailed as usual
Just on the lift thrust , if the Super Heavy lifters power plant is 27 raptors each with a 250 tonne lift rating then total lift capacity would be around 6,700 tonnes
Is that correct ??
The Apollo Saturn 5 fully fuelled weighed 2,800 tonnes or around 6 million pounds and the 5 x F1 engines had a combined lift thrust of 7.5 million pounds
That means the Super Heavy Lifter will be 2.5 times the weight of a Saturn 5 !!
I don’t know if I’ve got the maths right but this Super Heavy Lifter will be a launch vehicle of astonishing magnitude !!!
