--$86.6 million
--200t to low Droo orbit without breaking a sweat.

A benchmark super heavy lift launch vehicle. I haven't seen another similarly capable rocket even in the same ballpark of cost efficiency. Untinkered. Vanilla.

When testing a 250t payload, I recovered the booster for $39.1 milion. (And the upper stage is recoverable too.) Lighter payloads mean it flies further away from the DSC and recovery isn't as good.

It'll circularise 200t with 1km/s to spare. So there's headroom. It handled 250t too, but the remaining d-v is smaller. I used a lightly edited version to take a hydrolox sphere (211t) to SPE in career mode.

*stats include a free 200t payload
