Tomorrow at 1:30 Eastern, SpaceX will launch the Falcon Heavy. Watch it here

5 million pounds of thrust. It will be the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of 2 and the most powerful since the Saturn V last flew in 1973.

Even a failure will be exciting.

They will attempt recovery landings for ALL THREE first stage boosters! 2 on land, one on their recovery ship Of Course I Still Love You.

If the launch is successful, the payload of a cherry red Tesla Roadster will be put into an orbit similar to that of Mars.

My personal expectation is that the rocket will tear itself apart at or around MaxQ.
