SPACE-X FALCON HEAVY FERRIES OUT TESLA INTO SPACE
SpaceX's Falcon Heavy, 229 foot tall world's most powerful rocket, roared off into space on the power of 27 engines and nearly 5 million pounds of thrust, carrying a payload of Elon Musk's cherry red Tesla Roadster, on what the founder of both SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk, said is a "just for fun and to get the public excited" journey into the asteroid belt well beyond Mars.
Addressing the media on the successful launch, Elon Musk said: "I'm really excited about today, incredibly proud of the SpaceX team. They've done an incredible job of creating what really is the most advanced rocket in the world, the biggest rocket in the world. I'm still trying to absorb everything that happened because it seems surreal to me. We estimate it'll be in that orbit for several hundred million years, maybe in excess of a billion years."
ICHEOKU says simply fabulous. What a great fit of engineering by a very brainy and brilliant people. Congratulations to Elon Musk and company.
