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.*

How and when to watch the launch:
SpaceX
webcasts 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.
