CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. â SpaceX's giant new rocket, the Falcon Heavy, is set for its risky first test launch today (Feb. 6) from the historic Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The launch window stretches from 1:30 to 4 p.m. EDT (1830 to 2100 GMT).
(The rocket family is named after another famously reusable spaceship, the fictional Millennium Falcon from âStar Wars,â Musk has said.) But perhaps the biggest draw of todayâs launch was the Falcon Heavyâs unique payload: a Tesla Roadster riding atop the rocketâs second stage. Musk announced in December that the âmidnight cherry redâ convertible, which he owns, would be the first Falcon Heavy payload.
