World's most powerful rocket !

A momentous event in the annals of space history took place in February 6 this year and it was watched live by millions of people across the globe. Elon Musk's company Space X launched the most powerful rocket or launch vehicle since the Apollo mission from Cape Canaveral , Florida. The rocket Carried a car , a  red Tesla Roadster owned by Musk, into Orbit . There was a dummy placed in the driver's seat dubbed , 'starman', numerous cameras and a music player belting out a David Bowie song!
The Falcon Heavy launch vehicle is reusable and can carry a payload of 68 tonnes into close-Earth orbit at one-third of the cost($90 million per launch compared to $1 BN for a comparable system built by NASA). The weight is equivalent to five double decker buses! It's closest competitor currently is NASA's Delta IV Heavy which is capable of lifting 29 tonnes . The Falcon Heavy is basically 3 rocket Ride Together to create a behemoth. All three the two boosters and the core module--- are meant to be recovered and reusable. However after the lunch, though the Twin boosters landed back on earth in perfect synchrony, the core module missed it's landing target by 100 metres and hit the water.

The Roadster was supposed to crash land on Mars but shot past it into the Asteroid belt. It is expected to come to a fairy and in a collision with a star or crash into Earth or Venus but not for millions of years.
