If you are not too busy or distracted around 1:30 PM EST today and you live along the Atlantic Coast of Florida… you might want to look towards Cape Canaveral and observe the Test Flight of The SPACEX Falcon Heavy Rocket on its Maiden Voyage … ostensibly to deliver its unique payload of Elon Musk’s Personal Candy Apple Red Tesla Electric Car into Orbit ...around The Planet Mars . This Launch Vehicle will be capable of carrying the heaviest payload via any other rocket on Earth... by a factor of (2) and this comes out to around 140,000 Lbs. This platform will be capable of launching Cargo and Humans to the Moon and Mars.
The ever pragmatic Musk as cautioned everyone that due to the unknown areas of Rocket Dynamics in Engine Clusters that will combine the power of (27) Merlin MVAC (Space Vacuum Specific) Rockets; creating around 5,000,000 Pounds of Thrust... there is always the possibility that it could involve some bizarre affects of Unattenuated Engine Vibrations and Amplified Acoustics and thereby, anything could happen once those (27) Candles are lit. So whether the Launch turns out to be successful or not... the people watching the entire drama will be in for One Helluva Show.
If the Triple FH Rocket(s) make it off of the Launch Pad #39A without having a catastrophic explosion at the Cape and manages to have a successful burn completion of the Liquid Oxygen and RP-1 Kerosene Fuel… The plan is to have All Three First Stage Falcon Heavy Rockets/Boosters eventually return and land nose-up right back at the Space Launch Facility. If all goes well... Elon Musk’s “Go Hard ...or Go Home” Tesla Advertising Strategy may pull off the biggest Advertising Coup since Vance Packard taught “The Mad Men” the tricks on How to Sell Anything… IF... that is... He manages to pull this incredible effort off. I'm am ever The Optimist... So I say ...Let's Go For It!
If you like… you can Watch the Launch before, during and afterwards this takes place on this Youtube Link:
