I don't think FH is enough for manned mars missions. It has enough delta V to land there but not to come back.

- Tepix 9y agoYou're right. FH would be only an intermediate step until ITS becomes available.
- Sir_Cmpwn 9y agoThe Falcon Heavy could send Red Dragons with supplies in advance of the ITS missions (this is in fact the plan).
- valuearb 9y agoA Falcon Heavy has close to the capacity of the first SLS version, and about half the later versions. But you can launch 20 Falcon Heavies for the cost of one SLS.
