Falcon Heavy also got the cargo delivery contract for Gateway resupply missions assuming any crew ever gets out there. The payload will be a special Bad Dragon XL, which iirc is an elongated version of the Dragon 1.x inside a fairing. Now we just need Crew Starship or a Crew Dreamchaser on Vulcan Chubby up there and we can drop SLS in the fucking trash for the entire Artemis architecture.

They'd also be really great for Venus missions since your entire mission profile aside from brief dips behind a planet shadow is in regions of >=1366W/m^2 solar flux so you can leave the nukes at home and go full SEP / chemical, even with an obnoxious 30 meter ~6kN sail.
