Space X and space history is made with the falcon heavy launch

in #space7 years ago (edited)

Space X launches its latest rocket the falcon heavy in what is surely a historic event.

The worlds most powerful rocket successfully gets to orbit delivers elons very own tesla roadster and then lands back on earth.

Here are some highlights and after thoughts found on youtube.

Rockets are cool, space x has the biggest, and they are reusable - a design that goes back all the way to boeings DCX single stage to orbit rocket also called SSTO concept. (note i actually worked on the video that got the dcx funding with clinton for another year, its nice to see that technology reemerge through elon's efforts!!)
