If so, 32 tonnes at 2/3 the cost of Delta IV Heavy.... Bye Bye Boeing!
Yea, the preview video makes it clear that it's a Falcon 9 Heavy. A
black and white drawing of the thing can be seen near the end of the
video. If they can make the Falcon 9 Heavy work, they'll be hanging
with the "big dogs" for sure.
