Falcon Heavy Test Flight — Starman Goes to Space
Falcon Heavy, the most powerful rocket then in operation at 5 million lbf thrust, debuted from LC-39A. Payload was Elon Musk's personal Tesla Roadster with dummy 'Starman' sent toward a heliocentric orbit. The two side boosters executed a stunning simultaneous landing at LZ-1 and LZ-2. The center core missed the drone ship at speed.
