3.1 million pound rocket with 4.7 million pounds of thrust. 1.6 million pound difference. IIRC, the Saturn V weighed a tad over 5 million and produced 7.8 million, so a difference of nearly 2.8 million lbs. The Falcon Heavy will creep off the pad if that's any indication. It should be really cool...even if it fails!
