one of the narrators referred to the booster as “the Superheavy”

It is - It has 2x the thrust of the Saturn V, and later planned to go to 3x.
Yes, but that’s the old name. It’s nice to hear it. It takes me back, to when NASA renamed the Lunar Excursion Module to Lunar Module (LM), but the astronauts still called it “the LEM”.
It’s what space x calls it. I really like they keep pushing and expect failures. Lost the booster and starship and it’s a great success. I really like their willingness to find failures and success with real live flights. The old way (NASA) takes 10-15 years to launch and then finds failures in flight anyway.
