SpaceX Falcon Heavy

Falcon Heavy's maiden flight on 6 February 2018 launched the most powerful operational rocket since the Saturn V, carrying Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster with "Starman" mannequin. Its synchronized side-booster landings at Cape Canaveral achieved a perfect mirror-image touchdown never before seen, proving heavy-lift reusability. This event outperforms James Webb Space Telescope in launch spectacle and reshuffled the launch market, cutting costs by 30% compared to typical rivals and enabling NASA's Artemis lunar return.
