Size in feet and weight in pounds? Is it designed in the 19th century?

It is designed in the 21st, in a nation where SpaceX and Blue Origin
are about to make every other space launch provider in the world very,
very obsolete.

The paradigm shift accelerates.

Now with at least *two* Super Heavy (50+ tons to LEO) commercial
launch vehicles planned for entry into service after 2020, the comsat
industry is going to start working on much, much bigger satellites.
And Ariane 6/Angara/Vulcan/GSLV will be left behind.
