Now it is more affordable to go to Mars

Congratulation to SpaceX for the successful of the Falcon Heavy test flight on 6 February 2018. Below are some of the interesting pictures. The first picture is a few second after the launch. There are boosters on the left and right of the falcon 9 rocket.


1st stages booster separation. There are three booster including the one attach to Falcon 9.
Each booster will be landed at the lunch site. However, the 3rd booster which is attached to Falcon 9 will be landed on a drone barrage on the sea a few minutes later.
These pictures are real. They are no longer hollywood fantasy. Then, the payload which is the Elon Musk Tesla roadster  will be lunched to Mars.
By the way, the driver on the car is just a dummy. While the spacesuit is an actual spacesuit from SpaceX. 

There are many technologies from multi-disciplines such as electronic, electric, mechanical, chemical, software design etc. are involved in this magnificent rocket.

Congratulation!!

Thank you also SpaceX for the amazing video which can be viewed at www.spacex.com.
