SpaceX Falcon Heavy · Demo Flight 1

This was the first flight of Falcon Heavy, then the most powerful rocket flying. The point was to prove the vehicle: three cores lighting together, booster recovery, a payload to a heliocentric orbit that reaches as far as Mars. The dummy cargo was Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster, permanently attached to the upper stage, with a mannequin in a SpaceX suit in the driver’s seat. NASA photographed the liftoff from its own pad.
