Description

Motivational quote from Elon Musk: When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor. Great gift for an entrepreneur.

Lift-off! On February 6, 2018 the maiden flight of the Falcon Heavy started at 3:45pm EST. Enjoy this picture of the launching rocket with smoke and orange fire on one of your home or office walls.

Kudos to Elon Musk and the whole SpaceX Team, great work!

The Falcon Heavy ist the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two. With the ability to lift into orbit nearly 64 metric tons (141,000 lb)---a mass greater than a 737 jetliner loaded with passengers, crew, luggage and fuel--Falcon Heavy can lift more than twice the payload of the next closest operational vehicle, the Delta IV Heavy, at one-third the cost. Falcon Heavy draws upon the proven heritage and reliability of Falcon 9.

Fun fact: The rocket carried one of Elon Musks Tesla Roadsters into space -- on a mission to mars with a “Don’t Panic” dashboard message, a dummy astronaut in the seat, and David Bowie on the radio, playing his famous song Space Oddity. How cool is that!

The picture of the Falcon Heavy launch is available as poster and print (canvas, metal, acrylic) in various sizes.
