Today Falcon Heavy is really the most powerful booster in the world. On a low reference orbit, it can withdraw almost 64 tons of cargo - 2.5 times more than other "mass-produced" rockets flying into space.

There were rockets and helper in the history of space exploration. For example, Saturn V, which from 1967 to 1973 served the US lunar program, could lead to a low orbit of 140 tons.

According to representatives of SpaceX, Falcon Heavy was never planned for manned flights with a landing on Mars and the subsequent launch and return to Earth.
