For the first time on Tuesday, SpaceX is set to launch its powerful Falcon Heavy rocket. As its initial payload, the 230-foot tall system will be carrying SpaceX founder Elon Musk's personal 2008 Tesla roadster on top. If all goes according to plan, the car will be sent to circle Mars in a billion-year elliptical orbit. Falcon Heavy is the most powerful rocket SpaceX has ever attempted to launch. It's much bigger and stronger the company's Falcon 9 system.
