What happened to the "Center Core" of Falcon Heavy
Florida - The Falcon Heavy rocket of SpaceX made a successful launch on February 6 from Kennedy Space Center, with a limited edition of Tesla Roadstar as its payload, playing David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’ on repeat. (airlinerwatch.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
This is high risk engineering, there will be some failures, losing the center core if due to a lack of fuel is solvable Space X at least is taking a risk that NASA never took with their " fire and forget " approach
incredible engineering
Being 67.5 years old, and proud of it, and having grown up in Houston, TX I agree with everyone here about a rebirth of excitement and support for return to space. I watched as the original seven astronauts were introduced. We also had a ham radio operator next door and he would let us hear the Sputnik signals. Then there was Telstar and, of course, the moon landings. Now it is "Mars or Bust" for the USA and SpaceX is proabaly winning that race. Good to see it again. Onward and upward.
SpaceX is revolutionizing space travel. I haven't been this excited about space travel since the shuttles starting launching in the early 80's but alas... the promise of reusability and cheap access to space never came to fruition. I think SpaceX is on the right track to achieve it during my lifetime. I'm cautiously optimistic. Go SpaceX!!!
I was stationed at the Cape from 2008-2010 and can say that the lack of government bureaucracy allowed this outstanding launch by a private contractor-
It's in my garage.
