Falcon Heavy



The most powerful rocket booster in production is unveiled–and it's privately owned.



What's really cool is that the manufacturers, SpaceX, are planning an even bigger one that will dwarf a Saturn V.

    not forgetting that the company was founded by a man who got rich from the internet and decided to invest in space - there's someone who is embracing the future

    I wait with barely concealed glee for the day when a manned deep-space mission goes up on a Falcon XX- right past the International Space Station.

    It's time for NASA, etc., to stop screwing around in LEO and get back to serious business. Which does not include "Muslim outreach". The only outreach that matters is the one to the planets, and (one day) beyond.

    cheers

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
