Hi guys,
I think that tonight Ariane 5 ECA has shown again to be the most powerful orbiting "artifact" in the planet... Don't you agree? |

Some of those numbers are a little off, I think. For example, the heaviest payload that a Saturn V ever put into LEO was, IIRC, the Apollo 17 TLI stage (the half-fueled S-IVB, the SLA, the LM and the CSM). That package weighed on the order of 145,000 kg (or roughly 320,000 lbs). Granted, that was a *very* low Earth orbit, a roughly circular 150-km (95 mile) orbit. But it was LEO.
I also think it would be far more helpful to give comparable metrics on each of the launchers. For example, I bet you could easily come up with kgs to LEO numbers for all of them. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
