SpaceX will attempt the first launch of its new giant rocket, the Falcon Heavy, on Feb. 6, the company's CEO Elon Musk said Saturday (Jan. 27).5 million pounds of thrust lighting off should be spectacular to see. If the damn thing doesn't blow up. 27 engines firing at once would probably make it the largest number of engines burning at one time since the Soviet N1, which never made a successful launch.
The much-anticipated maiden flight of SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket will lift off from the historic Launch Pad 39A — the same one used for NASA's Apollo moon missions and space shuttle flights — at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
