Falcon Heavy, SpaceX’s long-awaited launch, successfully broke the atmosphere February 6, 2018, from the Cape Canaveral space centre in Florida, setting another record for the company. It is hopefully the first step towards having the technology to be able to transport people to Mars. It introduces innovative technology, with it being the most powerful rocket launched since the Saturn 5, which was responsible to successfully getting astronauts to the moon.
