In full: SpaceX launches its Falcon Heavy rocket for first time in three years

SpaceX is launching its Falcon Heavy rocket for the first time in more than three years.

There have been repeated delays due to issues with the payload, which in this case includes a microsatellite dubbed TETRA-1 which has been created for "various prototype missions".

Watching the two boosters landing at the same time is always an amazing view.

It's really incredible how they can successfully bring those boosters back to land so perfectly. Amazing stuff!

[Bloodline]

It's still mind blowing watching both boosters land perfectly every time! Awesome job to everyone at SpaceX.

That twin landing sequence - I'll never get tired of that... Thanks SpaceX for pushing us forward like this.

[d.b.]

I'll never get tired of watching the side boosters landing, never thought I'd see something that amazing.

[peteratgoogle]

Incredible! It never gets old watching those boosters land.

[Justcurious]

Incredible human achievements!! It’s great to be alive to witness this.

I mean honestly, this is absolutely remarkable. I feel like it just becomes more normal, but THAT should never become normalized. Truly incredible engineering and technology. Man created that. Imagine what else we can do together.

[crunchynuts]

That is just the COOLEST thing ever!!...as an aerospace engineer I have to say that just makes me grin...fantastic engineering!

[Mariner]

Just incredible, and SO stirring - I was a kindergartener for Apollo 7 and followed NASA ever since. Was BLOWN AWAY when SpaceX first suggested the unthinkable - reusable first stage ROCKETS - I was skeptical, but to SEE it in 2015 was amazing. NOW it is "the norm" (151 times) to see these boosters land in Florida flawlessly. I PRAY that I live long enough to see Starship/Starship Heavy launches... perhaps even the first trip to Mars. I'll put a few bucks down that SpaceX beats the other contractors on every project.

This is my first time watching both boosters land and I must say that was awesome to see!! I feel like I'm watching the Thunderbirds in real life! lol

[aSimpleChat]

I never get tired of seeing this great engineering at work. That SpaceX team is so on it with laser focus! Imagine what will be in just 6 months from now. Just insane that a new company figured out how to not just cost less, but demonstrate true reusability with a plan for recovery and pinpoint landing! Proud to see these minds at work.

Launch starts at 13:08 for those that don't understand how a countdown works

[Frank-sijd]

What an incredible almost unbelievable performance! Congrats SpaceX

[desertgecko]

I never tire of watching the boosters come in for a landing. Congrats to the entire team on another successful launch.

[joolzm]

Watching those boosters land after punching that rocket into amazing

[AuProspecting-Scotland]

First time ive ever seen this, that is truly amazing landing.

[mbryred]

It's all so incredible to watch and listen. I appreciate the commentary explaining what was happening!

[mbuckholz]

Man that landing doesn't even look real. I'll never get tired of watching that

[DonReyOrantoy]

Two sonic booms are automatic goosebumps.
