The numbers said after the successful launch of the Falcon Heavy missile

SpaceX's successful launch of the world-famous Falcon Heavy launch has brought a lot of strong emotions and beliefs to people about the future of the space industry. Around this event are impressive numbers.

On Tuesday (February 6), the whole world witnessed SpaceX's launch screen being a huge success. This feat will undoubtedly open a new chapter for the space industry when a private company is capable of successfully launching rockets and explorer spacecraft.

SpaceX's technology is cheaper because of its ability to reuse the rocket floors.

In particular, SpaceX's technology is cheaper thanks to the ability to reuse rocket floors and, above all, Falcon Heavy's cargo capacity is almost the largest today. In the near future, Elon Musk is expected to not only launch cargo ships, but also bring people to the planets in the solar system thanks to a giant spacecraft that uses 31 propulsion motors. with 27 engines of Falcon Heavy missiles today.

Going back to the event of the world's most powerful rocket launch, let's take a look at the Livescience page through the talking numbers surrounding the launch to further understand this significant event of the space industry.

  1. 5 million : Falcon Heavy is equipped with 3 reusable missiles from Falcon 9 and helps produce thrust of about 5 million lbs equivalent to 22,819 kilonewtons.

According to Musk, Falcon Heavy is twice as powerful as any other rockets today.

Earlier NASA's Saturn V rocket was the world's strongest rocket with thrust of up to 7.5 million lbs. This is also a rocket that used to send the Apollo 11 to the Moon but has stopped operating since the 70s of the last century.

According to Musk, Falcon Heavy is twice as powerful as any other rockets today. This statement by billionaire Musk is a clear proof that SpaceX is capable of competing with Boeing and other airlines in the space race.

  1. 70 meters : Height of Falcon Heavy missiles.

Six of Falcon 9 missiles have been reused for SpaceX's subsequent test launches.

  1. 63,800kg : is the weight carrying Falcon Heavy in kg. This is equivalent to 63.8 tons of goods. This weight is 2 times heavier than competitors like Delta IV Heavy Booster of the United Launch Alliance (ULA).
  2. 3 : The number of landing stages of rocket floors. The first is the floor that pushes on both sides of the Falcon Heavy missile separated from the main body and falls on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Next is the main body that will keep pushing the rocket up until the fuel runs out and SpaceX's unmanned barge of Course I Still Love You located on the Atlantic Ocean.

Each boosters are equipped with contact pins that make landing more secure.

  1. 21 : SpaceX's Falcon 9 boosters land back on Earth at separate landing zones or unmanned barge at sea. Six of Falcon 9 missiles have been reused for SpaceX's subsequent test launches.

  1. 6 : The total number of central districts in Florida can hear loud explosions when the first push floor lands on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
  2. 1 : A dummy wearing an astronaut's outfit will sit inside a travel trailer on a journey towards Mars. Elon Musk also affirmed that 3 cameras on cars will allow people on Earth to observe the journey of cars.

The car will probably float millions of years in the universe in elliptical orbit around the Sun, crossing the gap between Earth and Mars. Elon Musk believes that aliens may find it in the future.
