SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy — a towering, three-pronged vehicle that is the most powerful operational rocket in the world — returned to the skies on Tuesday for the first time since mid-2019.

SpaceX is back with Falcon Heavy rocket launch. See the moment of liftoff
This is really cool.
BEAUTY ROCKET !
ROCKET AND ROLL .
A whole video about the falcon heavy and they don’t show the most interesting bit!? Where’s the double booster landing??
SpaceX’s livestream of the FH launch showed the double booster landing.
We need to continue being the greatest nation in the world and a nation that helps the less fortunate and step aside all this political division I don’t know what has happened in America that has created all this!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@Half-Breed He hasn’t trashed any. You just listen to liberal media SAY he does.
Seriously…
Find me one clip
@Vanilla Hudson Yes we are
We’re definitely falling, but so is everyone else.
Biden: I’m going to unite the nation.
Also Biden: Everyone that voted for Trump is a fascist!
This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. 😒🤦♂️
@Vanilla Hudson just Ukraines?
Social media and FAR right extremists. If we stay on the same track the FAR right will destroy our democracy and we’ll become a Fascism nation. Democracy is fragile
Falcon Heavy may not be the biggest, But it’s certainly the most efficient
Only in America can a certain man build rockets for the government buy a major info outlet and still talk on the phone with Americas enemies and everyone jumps up and down in joy when he sends a rocket up. I don’t see why cnn is on anything space x…
Musk is far right leaning. But i guess it’s ok because again he’s a white guy. It’s not like it’s a blk or Arab person making rockets for America then talking freely on the phone with people in Saudi Arabia I wonder how long that would be allowed and would that guy be allowed to even buy Twitter.
It wouldn’t be allowed there would be a national freggin outrage. Unreal. If your white you can do whatever you want unreal. Dude talks to Russia on the phone and has government American defense contracts unreal
The Methane fuel system was Musk’s
@Kevin Hinton Doubtful, given Musk isn’t an engineer.
@SpaceGoat What states that he isn’t an engineer?
@SpaceGoat Who cares. He has the best working for him. Money talks.
For a fledgling company to come out of nowhere and achieve so much in such a short span of years is incredible. I bet that the Russians wish they had sold him those two ICBM boosters.
@Muhlenberg DC -x was joint project and yes abandoned. So NASA solely picked it up (DC-XA) to complete the proof of concept project with plans for a larger rocket to supply the ISS

@DonO Your version of the history of the Falcon and SpaceX is totally different from what I’ve read elsewhere, from several sources. I remember DC-X and the way it was quickly abandoned; you’d almost think that neither NASA nor big aerospace ever wanted to see a reuseable booster. that’s why they’ve never tried to build one, and why their current multibillion-dollar fiasco isn’t designed for reuse.

@DonO So grunman did all the hard work for Nasa, got it.
Thank you Elon for helping to protect us and keep space commerce in the US.
And restore free speech on Twitter
The left all on Elon nuts 😂
27 Merlin Engines in total. Core and 2 boosters each have 9 engines…
28 in total. But yeah I agree. Weird that the “expert” didn’t know.
@Ronny André Wilhelmsen I’m pretty sure you can only “feel” 27 Merlin engines. The “expert” was discussing being onsite and feeling the sound pressure of the engines. Nobody is “feeling” that 1 second stage engine.
@Steve Chance,
True, but he seemed to feel only 9 out the 27 engines.
He did mention that stage 2 would be shrouded in mystery and secrets. But he seemed to be feeling that, because how many times did he mention that it was a mystery mission by the space force?
The SpaceX Heavy as he called it, has just two boosters apparently, the center core he seems to think is not a booster.
Thank you for correcting that. I was scrolling down to see if anybody had beaten me to it and I only had to go four comments down LOL.
2:58 WRONG! It’s 27 Merlin engines on the Falcon Heavy, not 9.
Elon Musk is smart and obviously successful. I wish he would be vocal in honoring taxpayer funded and trained astronauts and NASA without which there wouldn’t be a SpaceX.
27 Merlin engine not just 9, 9 is for one core
Excellent work SpaceX Engineers!!!
Just overwhelming to see this😲😲
Correction to the reporter: It’s 27 Merlin engines in total, 9 per buster…
Very disappointing this reporting did not show the most important aspect of SpaceX’s Falcon boosters – reusability. Both side boosters from this launch returned to launch site and landed successfully. It was the 150th and 151st recovery of an orbital class booster by SpaceX. Love him or loathe him, Musk’s vision and the talent of his engineers are driving down the cost of space flight.
LOL! What ! No view of the boosters landing? What a gyp! Actually I love AND loathe him! It depends what he has said that day.
The things human do, UNbelievable😱
Well this is just a scientific advancement very amazing stuff🤔
I live over in the Tampa area. I saw it visually ascend. At 1016 am, I heard the sonic boom finally reach us.
Let’s go with 27 Merlin Engines for the Falcon Super Heavy configuration. As posed to 9 Merlin engines for the standard Falcon 9 config
Can someone tell us the exact nature and specifications of the payload please ?
