The fog was thick this morning at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, however that didn’t cease SpaceX from launching its not often flown Falcon Heavy, nor did it stop thrilling views of the spectacle.

Falcon Heavy is presently probably the most highly effective rocket on the earth, so it’s an enormous deal when SpaceX has the chance to mild this outsized candle. The rocket was recruited for the U.S.-44 mission chartered by the U.S. Defense Department, during which an unspecified payload was delivered to geosynchronous orbit (GEO)—a distant Earth orbit during which an object orbits on the similar velocity as Earth’s rotation. Details about the mission are scant, however we will make sure that Falcon Heavy was one of many few rockets on Earth able to finishing up the launch.
