SPACEX FALCON HEAVY LAUNCH VEHICLE

When Falcon Heavy lifted off, it became the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two. With the ability to lift into orbit nearly 64 metric tons (141,000 lb)---a mass greater than a 737 jetliner loaded with passengers, crew, luggage and fuel--Falcon Heavy can lift more than twice the payload of the next closest operational vehicle, the Delta IV Heavy, at one-third the cost. Following liftoff, the two side boosters separated from the center core and returned to landing site for future reuse. Falcon Heavy put a Tesla Roadster and its passenger, Starman, into orbit around the sun. At max velocity Starman and the Roadster will travel 11 km/s (7mi/s) and travel 400 million km (250 million mi) from Earth.

No really - there's an artificial probe detected by astronomers to be moving at speed through the Solar System this week! It's Cherry Red, looks like a car, and used to belong to Elon Musk. Ok sorry for the bait! These observations actually give us a sense as to what an artificial interstellar interloper might look like. But this week hasn't been all cherries as the President takes aim at WFIRST, a next-gen space telescope which was the top recommendation of the US astronomy community in the last decadal survey. ::More about this Video:: ► Space-X website: http://www.spacex.com ► Popular Mechanics article on the rotation rate of the Roadster: https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/satellites/a17762760/heres-exactly-how-fast-elon-musks-tesla-is-spinning-in-space/ ► University of Hawaii news story on their images: http://www.hawaii.edu/news/2018/02/09/atlas-telescope-spots-tesla-roadster/ ► MMT video by Tim Pickering: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/19/science/nasa-dark-energy-wfirst.html ► WFIRST NASA website: https://wfirst.gsfc.nasa.gov ► Astro2010 Decadal Survey: http://sites.nationalacademies.org/bpa/bpa_049810 ► Columbia University Department of Astronomy: http://www.astro.columbia.edu ► Cool Worlds Lab website: http://coolworlds.astro.columbia.edu ► Background music by Evolv ("Higher Learning") and Adrian Walther ("Illuminate") licensed through Soundstripe.com ::Playlists For Channel:: Latest Cool Worlds Videos ► http://bit.ly/NewCoolWorlds Cool Worlds Research ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsResearch Guest Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsGuests Q&A Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsQA Tabby's Star ► http://bit.ly/TabbysStar Science of TV/Film ► http://bit.ly/ScienceMovies ::Follow us:: SUBSCRIBE to the channel http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsSubscribe Cool Worlds Lab http://coolworlds.astro.columbia.edu Twitter https://twitter.com/david_kipping Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cool.worlds THANKS FOR WATCHING!!

We take you behind the scenes of Falcon Heavy to answer so many important questions! We learned so much after the successful launch and there’s a ton to cover. Instead of me trying to answer EVERYTHING in this video, I decided we’re just going to focus on one big question first. WHY. Why the Falcon Heavy? Why does it matter? Why launch it now when it might be replaced soon by something bigger and better? And of course, the number one why, why did SpaceX launch a Tesla into space?

When Falcon Heavy lifts off, it will be the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two. With the ability to lift into orbit nearly 64 metric tons (141,000 lb)---a mass greater than a 737 jetliner loaded with passengers, crew, luggage and fuel--Falcon Heavy can lift more than twice the payload of the next closest operational vehicle, the Delta IV Heavy, at one-third the cost. Falcon Heavy's first stage is composed of three Falcon 9 nine-engine cores whose 27 Merlin engines together generate more than 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, equal to approximately eighteen 747 aircraft. Following liftoff, the two side boosters separate from the center core and return to landing sites for future reuse. The center core, traveling further and faster than the side boosters, also returns for reuse, but lands on a drone ship located in the Atlantic Ocean. At max velocity the Roadster will travel 11 km/s (7mi/s) and travel 400 million km (250 million mi) from Earth.

The long-awaited launch of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket is set for 6 February from Launch Complex 39-A at Kennedy Space Center.

On Wednesday, Jan. 24th, 2018 SpaceX completed the first static fire test of the Falcon Heavy launch vehicle. When Falcon Heavy lifts off, it will be the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two. Its first stage is composed of three Falcon 9 nine-engine cores whose 27 Merlin engines together generate more than 5 million pounds of thrust, equal to approximately eighteen 747 aircraft. Only the Saturn V moon rocket, last flown in 1973, delivered more payload to orbit. Falcon Heavy was designed from the outset to carry humans into space and restores the possibility of flying missions with crew to the Moon or Mars.

Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy models and renderings from Oli Braun - find him on twitter - http://twitter.com/oli_braun Falcon Heavy. It’s ALMOST HERE! When it flies, it will be the most powerful and highly anticipated rocket of the 21st century. SpaceX will be attempting the ultimate feat in rocketry, strapping three orbital class boosters together to form a heavy lift vehicle. As if that weren’t enough, the Falcon Heavy will be attempting to land ALL THREE of its massive first stages boosters, two by land one by sea. SpaceX first announced the Falcon Heavy in 2011 saying the vehicle would be ready to launch in 2013… So why exactly has it taken five additional years to develop a rocket that’s essentially just three Falcon 9’s strapped together? Well, we’re going to dive into what all has changed since the 2011 announcement including what specific hardware and technology had to be developed. We’re also going to compare the Falcon 9 to the Falcon Heavy in a side by side comparison and explain just why exactly there’s so much more to the Falcon Heavy than just strapping three Falcon 9’s together.

The world is about to see the most powerful rockets of all time roar to life. Here's how SpaceX, Blue Origin, and NASA's newest rockets compare. Tech Insider tells you all you need to know about tech: gadgets, how-to's, gaming, science, digital culture, and more. Subscribe to our channel and visit us at: http://www.businessinsider.com/sai TI on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/techinsider TI on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tech_insider/ TI on Twitter: https://twitter.com/techinsider -------------------------------------------------- Following is the transcript of the video: With the announcements of SpaceX's Falcon Heavy and Big Falcon Rocket, Blue Origin's New Glenn, and NASA's Space Launch System, it can be tough to tell one rocket apart from the other. NASA’s Saturn V rocket was the pinnacle of technology during the Apollo era. More than 40 years after its final flight, it’s still the world’s most powerful rocket. But that’s finally about to change. NASA, SpaceX, and Blue Origin are developing their most impressive rockets yet. Here’s how America’s monster rockets of the future measure up to NASA’s moon rocket Saturn V - 363 feet tall Falcon Heavy - 229 feet tall BFR - 348 feet tall SLS - 365 feet tall New Glenn Rocket - 326 feet tall At peak performance, the Saturn V could lift 310,000 pounds to orbit. That’s equivalent to the weight of 33 African elephants respectively (avg. African elephant weighs 9500 pounds.) Some of these payloads are subject to change, but here’s an estimate of how much each rocket can carry to space. Saturn V - 310,000 lbs (33 elephants) Falcon Heavy - 119,000 lbs (12.5 elephants) SLS - 286,000 lbs (30 elephants) BFR - 330,000 lbs  (34 elephants) New Glenn Rocket - 99,210 lbs  (10 elephants) The Falcon Heavy will be the first rocket since Saturn V capable of sending humans to the Moon, though it won’t be quite as powerful. Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket will compete with SpaceX for commercial satellite launches. But the real monsters of the group are NASA’s Space Launch System and SpaceX’s Big Falcon Rocket. Both will out power the Saturn V and are designed to eventually launch humans to Mars. Now, let’s check out the true test of a rocket’s power — its thrust. Saturn V - 7.6 million pounds (42 Boeing 747s) Falcon Heavy - 5.1 million pounds (28 Boeing 747s) SLS - 9.2 million pounds (51 Boeings) BFR - 11.8 million pounds (66 Boeings) New Glenn - 3.85 million pounds (21 Boeings) The Saturn V generated 7.6 million pounds of thrust at liftoff That’s equivalent to the same propulsive power as 42 Boeing 747s (referring to Boeing 747-400 model, which has 4 engines that produce 44,700 lbs of thrust each) Before the decade is up, we can expect to see at least a couple of these rockets roar to life for the first time. SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy is scheduled for its maiden voyage in early 2018. NASA’s SLS will likely take flight two years later in June 2020, and we can hope to see New Glenn launch by 2020. The era of monster rockets is fast approaching. Can you hear the engines, yet?
