Following its first test launch, Falcon Heavy is now the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two. With the ability to lift into orbit nearly 64 metric tons (141,000 lb)---a mass greater than a 737 jetliner loaded with passengers, crew, luggage and fuel--Falcon Heavy can lift more than twice the payload of the next closest operational vehicle, the Delta IV Heavy, at one-third the cost. Falcon Heavy draws upon the proven heritage and reliability of Falcon 9.

Its first stage is composed of three Falcon 9 nine-engine cores whose 27 Merlin engines together generate more than 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, equal to approximately eighteen 747 aircraft. Only the Saturn V moon rocket, last flown in 1973, delivered more payload to orbit. Falcon Heavy was designed from the outset to carry humans into space and restores the possibility of flying missions with crew to the Moon or Mars.

    Best damn car commercial I've seen in my life.

    I can't believe it's been five years already since this historic launch. I remember watching it live in total amazement. Still gives me chills five years later when everyone starts cheering.

    THIS is how you you get the public interested in space.

    There is something magical about seeing the twin side boosters land simultaneously. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined I would be alive to see something so incredible.

    5 years on and it still gives me a lump in my throat, what a time to be alive

    All amazingness aside, the fact that this dethroned the Kylie Jenner pregnancy announcement video for the number 1 spot on trending gives me hope for humanity.

    This video brings me to tears every time. Hearing everybody cheering with all of their hearts at the success of this incredible machine that they designed and built just hits me in a different way. Space flight is so captivating and beautiful, and it still blows my mind that there are humans smart enough to figure out how to do it. Godspeed, SpaceX. You are truly carrying the future of our civilization on your shoulders.

    I will never forget this day. I was a senior as an ME and the whole class stopped to watch this on live stream. One of the many historic moments spacex achieved
