Would you like to ride Space X's Tesla Car from World's Most Powerful Falcon Heavy!?
Falcon Heavy is capable of 5 million pounds of thrust at lift off and is considered as most powerful rocket that has been built ever in the history of mankind. Space X successfully launched its heavy yet ambitious Falcon Rocket for the first time yesterday but what happened next surprised everybody!

The roadster’s Tesla car released from maiden Falcon Heavy is now travelling in the asteroid belt next to mars after overshooting the trajectory and it is going farther out into the solar system than originally planned. The map shows that it will be going relatively close to the dwarf planet Ceres.
If you talk about the launch, then the outer cores of the rocket successfully landed at the base yesterday afternoon, the middle core of Space X’s huge rocket missed the drone ship where it was supposed to land. The center part lighted one of the three engines after hitting the water at 300 miles per hour. Two engines from the drone ship were taken out after crashing, Space X CEO Elon Musk said to press. The excursion took flight from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Florida at 3:45pm ET on Tuesday. After two and a half minutes later they made a beautiful arc in the space. Then the two outer covers broke away and returned to earth. Tesla remained in the space for a good six hours.
The pair then touched the grounds of Space X just seconds apart after its launch. Just in a matter of 3 minutes the center portion broke away from the upper stage and it failed to land on its drone ship. “We lost the center core” that was heard in the observation room.
The announcement of Falcon was made in 2011 and was expected to sent in air in 2013 or 2014. With much delay, it left the ground at 3:45 pm yesterday after aerodynamics calculations were done. People went crazy in excitement as soon as they saw YouTube’s second biggest live stream ever of the most powerful Falcon’s launch full video that went on air.
