SpaceX is going to static fire the Falcon Heavy today

3 cores of 9 Merlin engines each, capable of 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff. Can put 140,000 pounds of payload in orbit.

All 3 cores are capable of landing after liftoff.

It'll be the most powerful rocket currently in operation. Though it pales in comparison to the Saturn V which last launched (putting Skylab in orbit) in 1973.
