Three fifths the thrust of a Saturn V, and twice the thrust of any current rocket.

Most space launch fans have said their favorite part of the first Falcon Heavy launch was watching the two side boosters land together.

The most important information for FReepers was left out:

The Falcon Heavy megarocket, the most powerful booster currently in use, is set to launch the Arabsat-6A communications satellite into orbit from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida today at 6:35 p.m. EDT (2235 GMT). After liftoff, the huge rocket's two side boosters and central core stage are expected to return to Earth for the triple landing.
