Falcon Heavy VS. Falcon 9 and Saturn V. Vs. Atlas-Agena A
The falcon heavy and the falcon nine are two of SpaceX's most famous rockets. The Falcon 9 rocket became a very famous rocket in history for being the first rocket to be able to go into space and come back down with a perfect vertical landing. On the other hand, spaceX's Falcon heavy became known for its extreme hight, and its power. The Falcon heavy is made of 3 Falcon 9 core engines. the falcon nine is of course, made of one falcon nine core engine the falcon heavy at 90m dollars is much more expensive than the falcon 9 at 62m dollars. the falcon heavy is about 28m more dollars than the falcon 9. also the height of the falcon nine is surprisingly the same of the falcon heavy at 229.6ft.
The Saturn V. and the Atlas-Agena are different too. The Atlas-Agena was launched about 109 times and was part of the Atlas rocket family. On the other hand, the Saturn V. rocket has had about 13 launches in all. The Saturn Vs first launch was in 1967. In contrast, the Atlas-Agenas first launch was in 1960. Some things about the Saturn V and Atlas Agena are the same too. First of all, they are Both rockets made by NASA. Second of all, They were both launched between 1960 and 1970 when the Cold War was going on.

Largest Rocket Launch.
EVER
|
Elon Musk’s most recent launch, the Falcon Heavy, is one of the largest rockets ever to be sent into orbit. The Tesla Roadster, that launched on the top of the falcon heavy, is going farther out into the Solar System than originally planned. The car was supposed to be put in orbit around the Sun that would launch the vehicle out to the distance of Mars’ orbit. But the Falcon Heavy seems to have traveled far past that route and has put the Tesla in an orbit that travels beyond the mars's path. However, the Tesla won’t be making it to the asteroid belt, as Elon Musk originally claimed.

Could Disaster Be Headed For The Tesla Roadster?
There's been a question whether or not the Tesla is headed for disaster, or if it's in the clear and will continue on in space going on a path of more than a billion miles, and stay on that path for the next millions and billions of years. Disaster could possibly come from a collision with Earth or Mars or even an asteroid. But good news. The Tesla has less chance of a collision each year than all the Roadsters on the highways of Earth put together. The Tesla will travel millions of miles before disaster could possibly strike.
There was some other problems with the falcon heavy and falcon nine too. One is that the falcon heavy missed its original target of mars. Last, is that the ship (Mr. Stevens) that tried to catch the nose cone for the falcon nine, missed its target by just a few hundred meters. Overall, both the falcon heavy and falcon nine completed their main task, and overcame some of the challenges they were expected to hit.

Delays For SpaceX Rockets?
The Falcon 9 (Right) was delayed for it's original flight on 2-21-18 due to high altitude wind speeds. The launch will take place no earlier than February 22nd. Since then the launch had been delayed three times since its original launch target on Feb. 17.
The Falcon Heavy's third booster that tried to land off shore on the drone ship of course I still love you, missed its chance to land on its main target of the ship by about 328ft because two of it's three engines failed to fire. |
