With the first launch of Space X’s Falcon Heavy rocket – where it stands against the rockets of the world through time gives us an idea of the power these modern rockets are going to be able to provide.

I'm an experimenter, explorer and fascinated by the world around me and the people in it. My exploration goes further than the known universe and expands out to universe's I've created in my mind and put onto the creative canvas.
I'm not the person I used to be and over time I have evolved and the blog is evolving with me. Whatever this blog is in the future it's a place where all are welcome and ideas can roam free to find their magical place in the universe.

Huh. I thought the Falcon Heavy was closer in size to the Saturn V.

You should check it out, it is the worlds first privately developed space launch vehicle. Most people think that bragging right belongs to SpaceX but it doesn’t. That feet was accomplished back in 1990. And yes, I’ve been fortunate to see a few launches in my time. I was in Florida last August and saw one of SpaceX’s launches and landings. That is something else let me tell you. If you ever get the chance to see a launch you’ve got to do it. There’s nothing like it!

That’s something I would like to see! Wish I was too. It will be amazing whatever happens.
The rocket’s are meant to land themselves. That’s so cool!
