This is the most phenomenal event I have witnessed since the 1960's. Space X is a private organization from the owner of Tesla.......perhaps the most expensive and best built automobile in the world. They are building a space program "out of pocket" and with donations from individual people. This rocket had to cost many Billions of dollars to invent and test, and is the "LARGEST" rocket to ever be launched. The people at Space X have a great sense of humor.......note the "Tesla" which popped out of the capsule after leaving the atmosphere. Simply too funny. Their ultimate goal is to put people on Mars. There is no doubt in my mind they will achieve that goal. The launch took place at "The Cape", which is about 1-1/2 hours from me. It is simply breath taking. What makes it even sweeter for me, is the event took place on what would have been my Dad's 100th birthday. Enjoy. www.space.com/39632-spacex-falcon-heavy-launch-whats-next.html

Space exploration is exciting stuff. It all seemed to rev up in the late '60s & early '70s but it seems to have lost a little bit of momentum in recent times.
