Chonky? I'd say it's more of a tall boi than a chonky boi, especially compared to the Vulcan, New Glenn, or even normal Falcon fairings.

Why is it comparing New Glenn with 1st Stage Reuse to Falcon Heavy Expended? That seems intentionally misleading.

The reusable numbers for falcon heavy are:

LEO: 30,000kg

GTO: 8,000kg

TLI: 5,500kg
