Test Flight to Mars: SpaceX Falcon Heavy Rocket Launch

Elon Musk launched a successful test flight to Mars with his new Tesla Roadster and Star Man now heading swiftly at around 40K miles per hour into space. The Tesla will fly by Mars and be in an extreme elliptical orbit around Sun for perhaps a billion years.

Be sure to watch the dual boosters landing safely back to Earth. You can see them at the T+ 8:02 mark.
