How stuff works.com - Delta IV Heavy

[huxley]

Decent article. It does give a chart comparing payload capacity of top(?) lifters:

Boeing Delta IV Heavy
Height: 72 m (236.2 ft)
Payload: 12,757 kg (28,124 lbs) to geosynchronous transfer orbit

Arianespace Ariane 5 ECA
Height: 56 m (183.7 ft)
Payload: 10,000 kg (22,046 lbs) to geosynchronous transfer orbit

Lockheed Martin Atlas V 551
Height: 32 m (105.0 ft) tall
Payload: 8,670 kg (19,114 lbs) to geosynchronous transfer orbit

Didn't know the Delta IV was more powerfull than the Ariane. Wonder how it stacks up against Russian lifters? (I'll Google it!)

Haven't looked at How Stuff Works for any rocket related stuff, but it is a very cool site.
All kinds of great stuff to be gleaned from within its depths.
