SpaceX is set to blast its ambitious, 27-engine Falcon Heavy rocket into space on Tuesday, Feb. 6. If the launch is successful, the Falcon Heavy will become the most powerful rocket currently operating on (and off) Earth.*
Here's how to watch and what to know:

How and when to watch the launch:
SpaceX webcasts (http://www.spacex.com/webcast) all of its rocket launches and the Falcon Heavy is no exception. The launch is set for 1:30 p.m. EST, although SpaceX has a possible launch window lasting until 4:00 p.m.*
This inaugural Falcon Heavy launch is considered a demonstration test, so it's certainly possible that as SpaceX works out any bugs the rocket will not launch promptly at 1:30 p.m. If SpaceX decides not to launch the rocket by 4:00 p.m., due to either technical or weather issues, they'll try again the following day.
