In 2018, SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket launched with a cherry red Tesla Roadster owned by company CEO Elon Musk and a dummy called “Starman” in the driver’s seat. It last launched in June 2019, and SpaceX described it as one of the “most problematic” launches in its history, with the center core landing proving so difficult that it missed the drone ship waiting for it by a few feet. It has since been certified to lift the Space Force’s secret surveillance satellites into orbit, and the first of these flights might take place within the next several days.
