SpaceX launch Falcon Heavy: watch live

The world’s most powerful new space rocket blasted into the heavens above Florida’s east coast on Tuesday afternoon on a trailblazing deep-space mission that Elon Musk, founder of the private aerospace company SpaceX, believes could spell “game over” for his commercial spaceflight rivals.

I know the core seems to have had issues, but my god watching those Boosters landing perfectly beside each other was genuinely awe inspiring. I adore the man hours, mathematics and science that went into achieving this.

I lost it when they landed those rockets back on the ground.... amazing.

Watching the two booster land side by side was an absolute ‘pinch me’ moment, surreal. Reality really can eclipse fiction sometimes. Congratulations to all who made this happen - must be a great feeling.

How come the two bosters video feed at the bottom are the same picture ? Surley as they are not in exactly the same place the view of the earth below would be significantly different not the same... Either way, a fantastic achievement

Now Elon can say the Model S is the fastest production car ever made.
