The Falcon Heavy is a powerful 27-engine rocket used for flying large commercial satellites and cargo to deep space. It is expected to launch for the first time in late 2016 from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The company plans to fly an unmanned Dragon space craft to Mars as soon as 2018. SpaceX's Dragon capsule became the first commercial space craft to deliver cargo to the International Space Station in 2012. Now the company is working to develop a version that would be able to fly humans by 2017 and land using its engine thrust.
