They've built a lens that looks like the front of a tank!
f/2.8 at 500mm; with an adapter to be f/5.6 at1000mm.
At 16kg though, you'll need Arnold Schwarzenegger along with you to carry it!

"The dedicated Li-ion battery BP-21 is used to power the zooming and AF operation. This battery is built in the lens barrel."
So, do you pull the battery to charge it, or set the whole lens off to the side while the battery charger is plugged into it?
16kg? That's what, about 34lbs? Yikes!

Looks more like something designed to kill a tank.
".....various types of photography such as astrophotography, portraits, wildlife, sports."

GTFO!!!! Insanity. And with the converter on it on a 1.6x body/sensor the high end is 1600mm. Maybe put an extension tube on it for a giggle ;)
