Building upon the success of Falcon 9 rocket 🚀 (powered by 9 Merlin 🧙♂️ rocket engines), SpaceX upgraded its reach into outer space with the Falcon Heavy rocket (top panel). . The Falcon family of rockets are named after the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars. The Falcon Heavy still utilizes SpaceX’s reusability model, and its two booster rockets 🚀 are capable of landing on drone platforms (bottom right). . To show its capabilities, the Falcon Heavy was used to launch the Tesla Roadster 🚗 (bottom left) into outer space! .
