content: Date, Destination, and Payload announced for first SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch (Next Month, Mars' Orbit, Elon's Roadster) https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/936781265675599873 - Falcon Heavy to launch next month from Apollo 11 pad at the Cape. Will have double thrust of next largest rocket. Guaranteed to be exciting, one way or another. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/936782477502246912 - Payload will be my midnight cherry Tesla Roadster playing Space Oddity. Destination is Mars orbit. Will be in deep space for a billion years or so if it doesn’t blow up on ascent. Should be entertaining either way. If it actually works and we end up with a car in orbit of Mars -- well that's just fucking ridiculous. If it blows up, it'll be an explosion like no other -- this is going to be the most powerful rocket launched since the 70s. It's kind of like 3 Falcon 9's, taped together. That design is a big part of what led to underestimates in the time. Seemed simple, turns out it took more than tape.
