Falcon Heavy update (links)
Hello All,
The launch window for the inaugural Falcon Heavy launch will be from 1:30 PM EST (1830 GMT) to 4:00 PM EST (2100 GMT) on Tuesday, February 6th. Live coverage of the launch can be seen *here* http://spaceflightnow.com/2018/02/0...-status-center/ , beginning about 15 minutes before liftoff (which I presume is set for the beginning of the launch window), and: More information on this mission is available here (see: http://spaceflightnow.com/2018/02/0...n-heavy-flight/ and http://spaceflightnow.com/2018/01/2...vy-test-launch/ ). The rocket’s payload, a midnight cherry red Tesla Roadster, will—as Elon Musk has said—be playing David Bowie’s iconic hit “Space Oddity” as it soars into the cosmos.

Thanks for the update, and the links. This is the most excitement that I have had for a launch in a long time.

My father and his wife are vacationing in Florida this month. They are headed to the Cape to witness the launch.
