SpaceX Falcon Heavy Test Flight Today

The huge SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket will be launched for the first time today in a test mission. If successful it will carry Elon Musk's older model Tesla Roadster into orbit around the Sun. Then all three of its core rockets will attempt to land on Earth or a barge. Below is a preview animation of the event.
