The weight a rocket engine can carry depends on its design, size, and purpose. For example, small rocket engines used in model rockets might lift only a few grams, while larger engines, like those on the Space Launch System (SLS), can carry payloads of over 100 tons to low Earth orbit. The total payload capacity also includes the rocket's structure, fuel, and other systems, meaning the engine's thrust must be sufficient to overcome Earth's gravity and deliver the intended payload. Ultimately, the specific weight capacity varies widely among different rocket systems.

Why is the Constellation program going to use rockets instead of something more reusable?

The problem with adding anything extra to a rocket is that ANY extra weight in the design of the rocket SUBTRACTS from the payload you can carry. But the whole point of a rocket is the payload; add too much parasitic weight (as in, anything you add to make it reusable) and pretty soon, your rocket can't make orbit, or hit the target, or do whatever it is that your rocket is supposed to do. The Constellation rockets are designed to be HEAVY LIFT vehicles. You cannot afford to lose any payload capacity.
