SpaceX Falcon Heavy Launch successfully is a BIG SLAP to NASA's gigantic rocket...
Perfectly! Bravo SpaceX!
SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket, world’s most powerful rocket, has not flown for three-year hiatus and now, it comes back and works well as a normal routine.

It was a “simply outstanding” success, safely deploying several satellites more than 36,000 kilometers (~22,400 mi) above the Earth’s surface, the US Space Systems Command said.

The success of the US Space Force’s USSF-44 mission means that SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket is now one of just a handful of operational rockets in the world that has demonstrated the ability to launch satellites directly to geosynchronous orbit. More importantly, it’s one of just three US rockets with that established capability. The other two rockets – ULA’s Atlas V and Delta IV – will cease to be available for US military missions by the end of 2023, meaning that Falcon Heavy may briefly become the only rocket in the world able to launch certain US military missions until ULA’s next-generation Vulcan rocket is ready to prove itself.

"Falcon Heavy is a testament to the awesomeness of humanity", SpaceX CEO tweeted.

Indeed, it's been quite a long journey.
Known as USSF-44 and initially scheduled to launch more than two years ago, the US Space Force mission finally lifted off on November 1st, 2022 after relentless payload delays. By mid-2021, the hardware required for SpaceX’s first Falcon Heavy launch since June 2019 – mainly three new first-stage boosters – had finished qualification testing and been shipped to Florida in anticipation of a late-2021 or early-2022 launch. That launch never came.

Only in November 2022 did most or all of USSF-44’s payloads finally come together, resulting in a gap of more than 40 months between Falcon Heavy launches as practically every other payload assigned to the rocket in the interim experience its own significant delays.

Regardless, on November 1st, Falcon Heavy lifted off for the fourth time and performed flawlessly for the nine minutes the US Space Force allowed SpaceX’s webcast to continue.

I just cannot get enough of SpaceX. It's truly incredible to watch each and every time. Go SpaceX!Go Falcon 9! Go Super heavy! Go Starship! What an amazing time to be alive 🚀🌑

Watching the twin booster land together is as jaw dropping as watching reruns of the Saturn 5 liftoff, never ever gets old. - Ken

The private sector showing the government how it's done. Loving it!

[DrDiff]

SpaceX will humiliate NASA when Starship launches to orbit

[GarryAReed]

Excellent program, keep up the “GOOD” work ! 👍👍👍👍👍

[jupiterflambay]

Yep, kudos to the engineers etc. that make this possible, unlike boeings fiasco - well done !

[petesmith]

SpaceX is again proving that private enterprise can always accomplish complex tasks much better than Government agencies! Government should do only what our Constitution envisions and private enterprise should do the rest!

SpaceX has demonstrated the reliability of the Falcon Heavy rocket, and NASA can be trusted with the most complex missions, such as Europa Klipper and Nancy Gracie Roman.

I love it every time Space X launches a Rocket, it’s like slapping NASA every single time. 😂

[ricardo-iwsq]

the segment at 5:10 reminds me of the opening scene in star trek when we finally get warp tec. Elon come on dude ya not far off 🤭🤭

The center core performance/boost is also increased since it doesn’t have the weight & drag of landing legs & grid fins.

NASA NEEDS 2 BE REMOVED FROM LAUNCHING BUSINESS and reallocated to science/payloads

[Swizzenator]

All that tech space information you were delivering will surely get you more subscribers. As Steely Dan said..do it again.

[anodominate]

This launch was just outstanding. But fog steal the show still we got some awesome shots.

[amazingfacesamazeme]

HAVE Faith &GOTO SPAce
Go Space X
THATS how we do DO!
GO Space X

[majtom]

It sad the Wernher Von Braun wasn't able to see the new moon & mars exploration. Even when he was young he always saw space travel as were we should be looking.

[batmite]

Keep up the phenomenal work ladies and gentlemen.

[aurelio-reymilaorcabal]

To my knowledge Space X has the only Space Launch vehicles that can launch payloads into Geostationary orbit that is reusable for now, and was the stuff of SCIENCE FICTION! 🚀GO SPACE X🚀

[tronziebit]

NASA need to outsource all from SpaceX and stop wasting taxpayers money reinventing the wheel. 🤔

I like all the articles about falcon heavy say delayed in the headers but dont tell you its payload delays until you read the article
