SpaceX reveals footage of its Falcon Heavy 'megarocket'

A stunning new drone video from SpaceX has shown off the'megarocket' Elon Musk hopes will pave the way for humans to explore the solar system. The Falcon Heavy has been raised on its Cape Canaveral launchpad for the first time ahead of engine tests expected within days. It is expected to blast off soon after on an unmanned mission with a unique payload - Elon Musk's cherry red Tesla roadster car, which will be launched toward Mars. If all goes according to plane, the Falcon Heavy will lifting off and enter orbit before two of its booster rockets separate off and return to Earth at Cape Canaveral in controlled landings. The centre core of the rocket will separate from the main module, containing Musk's car, and then begin its own controlled descent back to Earth, landing on a drone ship.
