Falcon Heavy Rocket Launch Successful!

[Martin-O2]

Hey eveyone, 

Did anyone catch the launch of Elon Musk's launch of the new heavy payload Falcon rocket last night? The launch was the first test of the rocket which can carry an impressive payload of 64 tons! This is twice the capacity of existing launch vehicles. Most impressively the 3 boosters returned to earth and 2 of the 3 managed to land! Elon Musk even sent his car into orbit around the Sun 

The success of the launch has a lot of potential for future space exploration due the the much heaver and larger payloads that can be sent into space in one go!

What do you guys think about the launch? A great step forward or was it a vanity project for a billionaire?

Alright alright.... It would be a great opportunity to experience a real space flight himself and it would be in a safe environment with a return trip back to Earth, all expenses paid.

Better?
