Limits RegistryPUBLIC RECORD
Limits RegistryNASA's Saturn V placed about 140 tonnes into Earth parking orbit on its heaviest flights (including the Apollo spacecraft and the S-IVB stage), with Apollo 15 in July 1971 among the heaviest. Starship is designed to exceed this when fully operational, but Saturn V's demonstrated figure remains the benchmark.

The heaviest mass delivered to low Earth orbit demonstrated by any launch vehicle that has flown.
Change a parameter to stress-test whether a proposed result is still inside the published specification. This is an audit aid, not a proof checker.
This record has no editable parameters. Read the formal question and assumptions before challenging it.
Current frontiers derived from accepted Claims.
An observed or demonstrated result; no opposing bound is implied.
The frontier is not sacred
Most progress starts with a disagreement that survives contact with evidence. If you can push the known lower bound up or pull the upper bound down, show us the work.
≥ when you have shown that at least this value is achievable.≤ when you have shown that anything above this value is impossible.No vibes. State the value, define the scope, and link the paper, proof, code, or reproduction that lets another person check it. Editors review every challenge before the public record changes.
