RE: SpaceX will make its first ever launch attempt of the Falcon Heavy rocket today - Watch it live here
Very cool! A few fun facts: They played "Space Oddity" by David Bowie as it launched.
Now the rocket will be used for sending satellites and other payloads into orbit.
SpaceX also said in early 2017 that two space tourists put down a deposit to ride on a Falcon Heavy for a trip around the moon.
So cool! Thanks for sharing!
Good catch! And in the back there's a towel with the text "Made on Earth" while in the glove-room, there is a copy of the book Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy :D SpaceX surely knows how to make things epic.
SpaceX has already delivered many satellites to orbit, however, now they can take large satellites to geosynchronous orbits and land the boosters at the same time! Or more significantly, take larger payloads to lunar orbit and potentially Mars.
Will be interesting to see if the Moon tourist plan goes along according to plan ;)
