Elon Musk's SpaceX is Nude boobscloser than ever to launching a brand new rocket.

The Falcon Heavy is SpaceX's next big rocket, capable of bringing payloads and even people deep into the solar system.
The rocket looks effectively like three Falcon 9 rockets strapped together, and it's been in development for quite a long time.
SpaceX's insistence that it would launch the rocket and subsequent delays over the years have been something of a joke in the spaceflight community for a while now.

But it finally looks like space nerds will get the launch we've long been waiting for.
The Falcon Heavy is expected to launch in January carrying a Tesla Roadster as its payload (yep, really), and it's sure to be a special launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Musk has attempted to manage expectations by saying that there's a non-zero chance that the Falcon Heavy could explode during its maiden flight.
