SpaceX Falcon 9 reaches orbit
Supposedly there is also a "Heavy" configuration that uses 2 additional boosters for a larger mass payload than the shuttle.

It's untested and has no pricing information or schedule that I've seen though.

Not so different from a Titan IV heavy lift. One difference: Falcon boosters are liquid fuel. They are copies of the 1st stage.

This is, AFAIK, the same route a Delta IV Heavy takes.
