What is the UK time for the launch of Falcon Heavy?

Musk is absolutely bloody amazing, solar panels that look like roof tiles., underground motorways, driver less cars and lorries, reusable space rockets, battery tech to store wind/solar power to use when no generation, etc. This one man will do the human race and our poor over exploited planet more good than all the Trumps, Tories, Royals and robbers that presently run the world - put together.

If you wrote that post today you'd include flamethrowers too...

Would love to be out there for it.

I was lucky enough to be in Orlando in May when there was a SpaceX launch. I rented a convertible Mustang and drove out to the Space Coast, watching it from Cocoa Beach pier with a beer (just the one, officer). I've had worse days.

I can think of far worse ways to pass the time than that - very jealous.

Saw a Shuttle launch in 1992 wont forget the noise and we were a few miles away

Launch team has given a GO to start fuelling the Falcon heavy!

No guarantee of go for launch but a positive step.

Yes, Space X has all the details on this page. They will go live around 15 minutes before launch
