Was going to post something about this. Such a baller. _________________ KOBE
The people want to know what happened to the core of SpaceX’s biggest rocket.
About two hours after the rocket, the Falcon Heavy, launched, two of its three reusable rockets had successfully touched back down on their launchpads. But they’re only reusable if they don’t blow up, and the third, the center core engine, is officially unaccounted for.
The core was supposed to land on what SpaceX called a “drone ship” — a robotic, unmanned, floating landing pad — in the Atlantic Ocean. But in a SpaceX livestream of the launch, a voice announces, “We lost the center core." The third rocket didn’t land as intended, according to the Verge, although SpaceX has yet to confirm.
Update 7:54 P.M.
Musk confirmed the core crashed into the ocean during a press conference Tuesday evening.
Twitter, understandably, freaked out in the interim.

I really don't think it would be possible to one up a guy who can say he sent an electric car that he built into space on a rocket that he built.
Wait for the BFR. That is where they are pouring most of their resources into. Its supposed to be man rated so it could possibly carry a crew to Mars. Also its supposed to be 11-12 times more powerful than the Falcon Heavy.

I watch every one of the SpaceX tests. This was the best one yet...I had no idea they were going to synchronize booster landings. Hoooooly (bleep). Beautiful. _________________ "All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers."
