How will the Falcon Heavy launch vehicle be launched?
The company Ilona Mask SpaceX has posted on the Internet the animation of the launch of its heavy carrier rocket Falcon Heavy. The animation shows all stages of a rocket launch, with the separation of all stages returning to the launch site.
It is worth noting that the capabilities of the rocket are really excellent: Falcon Heavy will be able to take out about 53 tons of payload to a low orbit, and this is at a reduced cost of delivering a kilogram of payload, compared to other transport workers.

In order to launch, the company must carefully prepare the entire system of the LC-39 complex. It also launched the Saturn V rocket, which sent the Apollo 11 to the moon. Since then, the power site almost never used.
It is worth noting that the company had previously conducted a test launch of Falcon 9, then, a few weeks ago, the rocket stage returned to the launch site, but , unfortunately, it did not work out a soft landing . Nevertheless, the floating platform remained in operation, and after a small repair it could work again.
