Only the Saturn V moon rocket, last flown in 1973, delivered more payload to orbit.</BLOCKQUOTE> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/spacex_falconheavy_demo1patch01-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/spacex_falconheavy_demo1patch01.jpg" width="400" height="433" border="0"></a></center></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>There seems to be a mystery bit of symbolism in this patch. The landing pads and droneship are clearly represented and the four-leaf clover is a carryover for luck from the fourth launch and first successful flight of the Falcon 1.But the blue "star" to the right of the Falcon Heavy seems to be too prevalent not to represent something.
