A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, the most powerful launch vehicle in the world, roared into the sky overnight for what CEO Elon Musk called the 'most difficult launch' his rocket company has ever attempted

New York A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, the most powerful launch vehicle in the world, roared into the sky overnight for what CEO Elon Musk called the"most difficult launch" his rocket company has ever attempted.

Lift off occurred at 2:30 am ET Tuesday from a launch pad in Florida. The rocket carried an eclectic batch of 24 experimental satellites into space. Getting the devices to their intended orbits was expected to take hours and require some complicated maneuvering.SpaceX's customer for this mission, dubbed STP-2, is the US Department of Defense, a key customer that commercial companies such as SpaceX rely on for lucrative launch contracts.

— AF SMC June 18, 2019 It's called LightSail 2 and is designed to travel through space propelled by nothing but sunlight.Plenty of satellites have solar panels that convert the sun's energy to electricity and power on-board computers. But a solar sail is different. It aims to use actual light particles, called photons, as an endless source of fuel.

Tremendous Feat.

And a gunpowder doesn't have it's own oxygen...lol..the weapon works only in earth's atmosphere because we have air surrounding us just feel the breeze and you'd know that...lol..the spark of bullet is from the hammer of the gun dude.. that's why you pull or squeeze the trigger.

Dave is incorrect..in space there is no force to push off of...lol Dave the rockets don't go to space they fall back to earth in mid flight still within earth's atmosphere did you not know that part..watch an actual launch dude and you'd know booster rockets fall off

Question...how do you see the sun with your naked eye if its 93 million miles away....lol..or the moon...which never rotates to show its darkside..but not the iss space station..it's only a couple hundred miles up supposedly revolving around earth..but we see just a dott right?

Now tell them come and get me you government worker bees

Listen up people...there is no thrust in the vacuum of space..OK..listen up..I'm a military engineer..ROCKETS in earth's atmosphere moves air backwards...ROCKETS in space move what backwardsquestion mark

There are no satellites in the vacuum of space...our main communications come from under sea cables...google it plz people

DON'T be fooled by idiots...I love you always my people...soon we will be together forever

Chris Wilson and j..stern must be highschool dropouts..lol..Google it plz people...nothing burns in the vacuum of space period..nothing from our table of elements...period..you need a g.e.d. Chris and stern..lol

Nothing burns in the vacuum of space period..google that..no rocket fuel period can burn your a highschool dropout if you don't know that..no gun powder no bombs no sound in the vacuum of space...at all

Or he should've floated out into the space..the fact he jumped and immediately started to fall downward means everything. at 60.000 feet his weather balloon was scraping the dome above us all. AndiniMku ManajemenB

Lol..trump thinks he can arm space and shoot people .lol.. but as about a single solitary drone being shot down...lol.. oh wait they tell civilian population it costs 110 million...a piece...lol

Lol....Space Force..god is greater than man..no gun can be fired in the vacuum of space no lasers nothing burns in the vacuum of space not even gun powder...or jet fuel or anything else...soooooooooo stop being a pawn for the government

There are no satellites...only drones and high altitude planes giving you dumb things like facebook..and as close as the iss space station should be we should all see it as it orbit around earth in every single country..lol such lies they tell to you civilians

Not to mention there are supposed to be over 300 thousand satellites in orbit..and that's just ours..this whole ball earth would look like a be hive.. iss space station would've ripped itself apart at the first site of a hole in the fake space station..but they used ducktape

Everyone saw when the green screen glitched out and showed the car in a circular room filled with cameras angled at the 11:00 o'clock position...dude stop being a pawn for the government and actually do something to help the civilian population

Elon idiot..dude your a great idiot..no car is floating through space..windows in that car would've shattered..every fluid would've burst out of their holding containers..dude stop lying to these civilians

Or he should've floated out into the space..the fact he jumped and immediately started to fall downward means everything...at 60.000 feet his weather balloon was scraping the dome above us all...

That is if you believe that the earth actually spins and rotated

Check the red bull space jump for example..took him 4 hours to get to 60.000 feet using a balloon. He launched in Mexico..he landed right where he started from. Point being he should've landed in another country or the ocean

Main reason for using weather balloons

Space is a vacuum..nothing burns in the vacuum of space..so how do they maneuver through it..

This is soo funny to me...Rockets don't go to Space people..

Climate change not an issue here? My supermarket plastic bags seem inconsequential in comparison to this James Bond villain’s toys.

If you put enough satellites in the sky you don't get hit by asteroids.
