What is the most powerful rocket in the world

It looks like the 2020s will be a major era for space exploration, thanks to organizations such as NASA and private space companies such as SpaceX and Blue Origin.  

According to NASA, three different configurations are planned for the SLS. Compared to the Saturn V rocket, Block 1's thrust is 15 percent greater at 8.8 million pounds.

A quarter of the total thrust is produced by the four RS-25 engines that power the SLS. Solid rocket boosters provide the rest. They're the 'most powerful boosters ever built for space flight,' NASA says.

Block 1B of SLS should be able to put out 8.9 million pounds of thrust, slightly more than Block 1. Both of those configurations will be shadowed by Block 2, which will produce 9.5 million pounds of thrust.

According to SpaceX.com, SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy Booster produces 17 million pounds of thrust. If development proceeds as planned, SpaceX's Super Heavy will generate more than twice the thrust of SLS. 

The SLS will fly Artemis I with its Block 1 configuration, which has a payload capacity of 27 tons, or nearly 60,000 pounds to orbit beyond the moon. The payloads of blocks 1B and 2 increase as they approach 38 and 46 tons, respectively.  

According to SpaceX.com, Super Heavy's payload capacity will be 'in excess of' 220,000 pounds (100 metric tonnes). Depending on the mission, the answer to this question will vary.

In addition to carrying heavier payloads into LEO, Super Heavy can also carry the Starship spacecraft, which will require refueling in orbit to travel to the moon and beyond. SLS, on the other hand, can launch a payload to deep space without refueling.   

NASA has the capability to design reusable rockets but chose not to do so for SLS.

FLYING quoted SLS chief engineer John Blevins as saying, 'Reusability was actually more expensive and gave us less launch availability and mission success than not having reusability.'. I believe the agency made this conscious choice back in 2011 and 2012, and it still stands for the mission today.  

The Super Heavy Booster will be able to launch, again and again, saving hundreds of millions of dollars.
