A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket lifts off from historic launch pad 39-A at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, U.S., Feb. 6, 2018. SpaceX's payload for this mission includes a red Roadster destined for an Earth-Mars orbit, with a dummy, known as Starman, on board wearing SpaceX's new crew suit for its first astronaut missions, and a data storage device with Isaac Asimov's classic space trilogy loaded up. There's also a plaque inscribed with all SpaceX employee names, so they can tag along on the payload's billion+ year journey. (Photo/Agencies)
