SpaceX successfully launches Falcon Heavy

Elon Musk’s SpaceX successfully launched its Falcon Heavy rocket from the Kennedy Space Center last night. The rocket, the most powerful since the Saturn V, is capable of sending 140k lbs of cargo into low-earth orbit. Falcon Heavy could be revolutionary in that it carries three times the loads competitors are claiming—and does so at half the cost, according to National Geographic. T-30 seconds is at minute 29.
