spacex is saying the window will now open at seven 20p.pondence that we have been keeping an eye on on the ground at cape canaveral has been saying that the delay has been pushed back, the reason for that is the weather. in the upper levels of the weather. in the upper levels of the launch profile, the arc of the rocket is going to take, the winds are too high. it needs to be absolutely perfect. because it's going to, as well as launch of this incredibly powerful, dude amounts of fuel, very high risk rocket, it's also got to do this kind of aerial dance, where these separate cores, when they separate, they spin around and return to earth and planned on these two launch pads, and the central core lands on this drone ship in the middle of the atlantic. it really has to be absolutely spot on, otherwise they won't take the risk. we are now waiting to see, because the launch 15 minutes before it closes, we're now waiting to see if we might becoming back to watch this tomorrow. we ought to stress that these pictures you are seeing are not alive.

spacex's ambitions have produced high-profile failures. this falcon nine rocket exploded on the launchpad in 2016, destroying a $260 million satellite. but this test makes the falcon heavy the most capable rocket and saturn five, the vehicle that nasa used to take the first astronauts to the moved almost half a century ago. now thu.s. space agency come already one of spacex's customers, watch this closely. for could be a test robots and ultimately humans on a mission to mars. ever the show men of commercial space travel, elonusk released his own tesla roadster into spac complete with david go we bowie one bow-- david a live on the radio. mr. musk says his car could have a journey around the sun in a billion ars. victoria gill, bbc news. laura:nc for more on the l i spoke every time ago with leroy chiao, who served as commander of the international space station. as an astronaut, what was going through your mind as you watched this incredible, powerfu launch? leroy: this was a y.ry exciting the first new rocket to be launched and the most p

it's a big day. >> humongous day, shep, for spacex and beyond spacex, for all human space travel in theuture. if this rocket does successfully launch, heads off to space, deploys the tesla electric sports car, sending it out to the earth-mars orbit and all three rocket stages come back down to earth, two of them on the landing zone and the center score burning an additional minute and that would come down into the floating drone ship in the atlantic ocean. if spacex can accomplish all this, this opens the doors. number 1, putting a crew capsule on top of the falcon heavy, taking humans back to the moon. you can even take humans out to mars as long as you have an orbiting fuelship for resupplying the space craft with fuel. can also send it out to an asteroid and opens up massive new bigger around larger pay loads for the u.s. military, for the satellite industry and nasa. >> shepard: phil, as you know, the hotels are full down there. there's long lines to get into the base this morning all around kennedy space center where it wasn't that long ago everybody was afraid, oh, no, the space i

i hope so, it is a tense time for spacex. is literally about testing it and making sure it works but when you look at what you are going to do with a rocket this big, it brings many opportunities. you can launch large telecommunication satellites or you can launch large space telescopes, you can launch things towards the planet mars and other planets of the solar system. you can put infrastructure into space. this rocket is capable of putting 60 tonnes into orbit around the earth. the rocket itself is 23 stories talk and it is also supposed to be reusable, what does that mean? this is an interesting trip to do with improving the costs of space launchers. the idea is that you allowed the main body of the rocket, the big first stage, to return under its own power and land on earth so its own power and land on earth so it can be refitted and used again. they‘ve actually demonstrated that. it's they‘ve actually demonstrated that. it‘s part of the economics of these launches. if it is successful on my right to say that they will h
