Elon Musk's Falcon Heavy rocket launches successfully

From BBC

US entrepreneur Elon Musk has launched his new rocket, the Falcon Heavy, from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.The mammoth vehicle - the most powerful since the shuttle system - lifted clear of its pad without incident to soar high over the Atlantic Ocean.It was billed as a risky test flight in advance of the lift-off.The SpaceX CEO said the challenges of developing the new rocket meant the chances of a successful first outing might be only 50-50.

Over 2 million viewers tuned in to watch Elon Musk Falcon Heavy rocket successfully launch in to space today February 6th 2018 through youtube live stream. Another accomplishment for the human race I guess we can say. One for the history books. The Falcon Heavy rocket carried a Tesla vehicle with a dummy wearing a space suit in the driver seat with cameras around all sides of the vehicle. Supposedly this was just a test mission that cost around $90 million USD sending the vehicle equipped with the dummy and cameras into Mars orbit. Two of the boosters that carried the Falcon Heavy rocket in to space successfully returned to there landing pads. The live stream lasted for about 2 hours before the stream was over. I'm interested in following up on the updates relating to this mission. Check out the article and please leave comments below. Let me know what you think. Thank you.
