Look buddy, you are wrong. No one looks at the thrust values to determine the strength of the rocket besides you. A rocket's job is to haul payload and so the strength of a rocket is determined by how much payload it can haul not max thrust values. As you can clearly see in this case, despite having more thrust the BFR can haul less payload to LEO than the Saturn V.
All you did in your last comment is literally repeat what you said earlier. The "pure and cold numbers" you posted shows how ignorant you are about spaceflight. Come up with something original and present an argument for why the thrust is a better and more useful metric for measuring the strength of a rocket than its payload capacity.
- tigershark 8y agoIt's useless to discuss with you, you are just wasting my time. The numbers are there, the BFR lifting force is almost double Saturn V and the total mass that BFR is bringing in orbit is double the one that Saturn V brought in orbit. Please, continue with your non-sense if you like, I think that it's clear to everyone who is spreading mis-information and ignorance saying the BFR is only slightly more powerful than Saturn V.
- computerex 8y agoI'm not the one spreading nonsense. You are wrong 100% and repeating yourself 3 times isn't going to change that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFR_(rocket) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFR_(rocket) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_V https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_V The number you are looking for is "payload to LEO". For Saturn that number is 310k lbs and for BFR it is 220k lbs. 310k is bigger than 220k.
