A comment on SpaceX’s monstrous, dirt-cheap Starship may transform space travel. Parent comment
Mass to LEO (from the SpaceX site): F9: 22,800 kg; FH: 63,800 kg.
So 2.8 times. Both expend the second stage, so if they recover all the boosters then FH possibly has lower cost per kg, but they're not saying.
