How much if you went fully expendable?
With the help of @Erdayastronaut, and pulling the craziest 3xASDS Falcon Heavy profile that I can, I can get 8.5t into LEO with enough ΔV left in the tanks to get to the Lunar Gateway
So @elonmusk, is 8.5t the mass of a loaded Dragon XL?

63t to LEO is the FH Expendable capability which might translate into ~15t to Gateway LEO to Gateway is about 3.65km/s - 3.2 for TLI and then .45 to do the big inclination change to Gateway's NRHO

I thought the slide said it’s going into a elliptical orbit?
-
Correct, Lunar Gateway is in a Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit which is about 3.65 km/s of dV from LEO. Declan is correct, that's where Lunar Gateway is.

A 3xASDS Falcon heavy would be pretty much the coolest thing ever
-
Honestly, coolness factor I think RTLS by far wins. Being able to see those land with your own eyes is something I can't explain. Not seeing it from the cape is a shame, even though way more performance.

How much would you gain by expending the center core?
Kiitos. Käytämme tätä aikajanasi parantamiseen. KumoaKumoa

I bet making that simulation was fun

Dies it have enough dV to return from the gateway as well or does 8.5t mean gateway the expend into graveyard orbit?

*does This is embarrassing.
