Falcon Heavy

​​SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket is off again. With a slew of government satellites and important spacecraft onboard, the world’s most powerful operational vehicle lifted off into the night sky for the first time in what the company calls one of the most challenging launches in its history.

SpaceX made history as it not only successfully flew is Falcon Heavy rocket on its first commercial mission, but also recovered all three of the first-stage boosters for the first time. The Arabsat-6A mission to send a communications satellite into orbit is the second flight of the Falcon Heavy.

When SpaceX shot a Tesla Roadster into interplanetary space. it included a copy of Isaac Asimov's sci fi epic, The Foundation Trilogy laser etched on a quartz disc called an "Arch library," which is designed to survive intact for billions of years.

How long will the Tesla Roadster now flying through space continue to do so and what will be the fate of this cosmic convertible? Will it still look as pristine a billion years from now as it did in the videos beamed back to Earth? Probably not.

If you're wondering what happened to that Tesla Roadster that SpaceX shot into interplanetary space on Tuesday atop its Falcon Heavy rocket, wonder no more, because the company has posted a live feed from the cosmic car on YouTube.

Commercial space travel took a quantum leap forward this Tuesday, as SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket made its maiden flight. At 3:45 pm EST, the world's most powerful operational booster lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center on a mission intended to gather information about the launch system.

This time tomorrow Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster may well be hurtling towards Mars after being fired into space by the world's most powerful operational rocket. An animation shared by the company shows how this spectacular journey will play out should everything go to plan. ​

​​After many years and plenty of setbacks, the moment is fast arriving for SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket. New photos shared by company show a complete Falcon Heavy upright and ready to roll on the launchpad, with a certain CEO's cherry red Tesla parked inside as the payload. ​

​​SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket has been a long time coming, and we've just gotten our best look at it yet, with CEO Elon Musk tweeting out photos of an almost complete Falcon 9 Heavy in the hangar ahead of a planned maiden launch next month.
