Falcon Heavy
For anyone who missed the launch last night:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCc16uozHVE How fantastic was that!!  The Tesla roadster was a great touch, especially with the little "Don't Panic" tribute to Douglas Adams on the dashboard. The centre booster didn't quite make it. Very nearly though. It fell just 300ft short of the drone ship after 2 out of the 3 rockets failed to fire. Other than that, an almost perfect flight and controlled landing of the side boosters. I'm beginning to think all of SpaxceX's names are puns. To begin with SpaceX sounds like 'Space Sex' but, after watching the launch of the Falcon Heavy, I'm sure the mission control guys were calling it "F*cking Heavy". I thought maybe I misheard until I learned about the BFR: https://www.space.com/38393-spacex-b...cket-name.html
