I hate how this article reads but would love to see a November launch of the Falcon Heavy, which appears it may contain a BBC
Falcon Heavy
Falcon Heavy, previously known as the Falcon 9 Heavy, is a reusable super heavy lift space launch vehicle being designed and manufactured by SpaceX. The Falcon Heavy is a variant of the Falcon 9 launch vehicle and will consist of a strengthened Falcon 9 rocket core, with two additional Falcon 9 first stages as strap-on boosters.[8] This will increase the low Earth orbit (LEO) maximum payload to 63.8 metric tonnes, compared to 22.8 tonnes for a Falcon 9 full thrust. Falcon Heavy was designed from the outset to carry humans into space, and would enable crewed missions to the Moon or Mars.

But will he land it?

If he does, it'll be fricking impressive. Two booster cores landing simultaneously back at KSC and the first stage landing on a barge in the ocean.
Elon Musk will be one step closer to the day he can return to his home planet.

That's hot.

Its government contracts, but cheaper than the government used to do themselves. Its the gradual privatization of space travel, which is a good thing.

Almost. With that name, it'll go into a tailspin with 17 minutes remaining in the flight.
