Break it! SpaceX Falcon Heavy to the Moon Sooner instead of NASA's "$26.4 billion" Rocket...
Aside from Starship, does SpaceX have any other vehicle capable of sending humans to the Moon? It’s a question that’s been on a lot of people’s minds, even NASA’s. They need a reliable backup as the lunar race with China heats up, and as budget cuts keep growing. Of course, Falcon 9 is out of the running. It’s a medium-lift rocket, incredible for what it does, but simply not powerful enough for a lunar mission. So what about a rocket that’s three times stronger than Falcon 9? That’s right! Falcon Heavy. It could even beat Blue Origin’s New Glenn.
So, could Falcon Heavy actually send astronauts to the Moon?
Let’s find out in today’s episode of Alpha Tech.

If SpaceX hadn’t shifted all its focus toward developing Starship, there’s a good chance Falcon Heavy could’ve already taken humans to the Moon.
And that’s not an exaggeration. Even today, it remains one of the most powerful rockets in the world, the third most powerful, in fact, stronger than Blue Origin’s New Glenn, and just slightly less powerful than NASA’s gigantic SLS.
Falcon Heavy is more than just a rocket, it’s a symbol of SpaceX’s ambition. It made history back in 2018 when it launched Elon Musk’s personal Tesla Roadster into space. That very first mission was a success, setting the tone for everything that came after.

Since then, Falcon Heavy has flown 11 times, with a 100% success rate. So it’s no surprise that people are wondering, if this rocket is that capable and that reliable, could it actually handle a crewed lunar mission?
Actually, this question isn’t strange at all, even NASA once asked the same thing.
Back in 2019, impressed by Falcon Heavy’s first flight, former NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine publicly discussed with the Senate Committee the possibility of using it, together with ULA’s Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage, to launch the crewed Orion spacecraft into lunar orbit, instead of relying on the SLS.
