Watch SpaceX's First Falcon Heavy Launch Attempt

Hawthorne, California-based SpaceX has shifted the launch time for its first attempt to launch its new rocket, the Falcon Heavy, to 2:50 PM ET, as a result of upper level wind shear. The Falcon Heavy--which is currently sitting at Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida--is the largest rocket created since the Saturn V, which last flew in 1973. SpaceX says the Falcon Heavy was designed to carry humans into space, and to restore the possibility of flying human missions to the moon and Mars. SpaceX is webcasting the launch on its website, via YouTube.
