SpaceX Shows Off Falcon Heavy Testing
Hawthorne-based SpaceX said over the weekend that all of the first stage cores for its Falcon Heavy have completed testing at its rocket development facility in McGregor, Texas. SpaceX released a video of the static fire testing, where those rockets are fired while anchored to the ground. SpaceX has been aiming at a launch in November of the Falcon Heavy. The Falcon Heavy will be the largest rocket to be launched since the Saturn V moon rocket last launched in 1973.
