Default SpaceX fully reusable launcher


Would anyone care to venture a guess as to how much a fully reusable
launcher -- based on a Falcon 9 -- could place in LEO?

How about a fully reusable launcher with fully reusable side boosters?
If cross-feed were used, would that result in the first-stage core
booster going too high for the heat shield currently envisioned to
protect it during descent?
