You can almost feel the heat! The demonstration of SpaceX Falcon Heavy, the most powerful rocket built so far is a sensation in spaceflight history. Here are some of my favourite images of the successful feat, which took place on Tuesday, 6th Feb.The rocket can put more than twice as much weight into Low Earth Orbit than any other operational rocket, more precisely 63,800 kilograms or 140,700 lb (for example, this could make building a space station much easier), and launch heavier equipment and people into deep space!Falcon Heavy’s first stage comprises three nine-engine cores. What’s more, the core boosters are designed to be reusable. During the test launch, one booster crashed, but two of them returned in synchrony.Who else screamed like there’s no tomorrow during the livestream?
