The worlds most powerful operational launch vehicle ( 5.1 million pounds of thrust ) will deploy a secret payload for the US government.

A successful launch of Falcon Heavy in the early hours this morning however a disappointing live coverage due to thick fog which blanketed the Florida space coast.
Side boosters landed safely at landing zones 1 and 2 and apparently the US Govt secret payload reached nominal orbit

Coverage disappointing but another big tick for Space X

Next big milestone for Space X,Starship maiden test flight to low Earth orbit hopefully before January
