SpaceX launched its Falcon Heavy rocket early this morning, and it was just the third time it’s ever done so. The massive rocket — a pair of side boosters strapped to its central core booster — successfully sailed skyward and delivered a huge payload of 24 satellites into Earth orbit.
Everything went according to plan… well, almost everything.
Upon returning to Earth, both side boosters successfully landed themselves at the SpaceX launch center, touching down safely on their respective landing pads. The central core booster, which SpaceX has yet to recover from a Falcon Heavy launch, ultimately missed its mark.
