CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceX has once again rescheduled a launch of its massive Falcon Heavy.
The second launch of the powerful, three-booster Falcon Heavy rocket is now scheduled for Wednesday.
The launch was initially scheduled for Sunday night, then delayed until Tuesday. A threat of severe weather has now pushed the launch to Wednesday.
The launch window opens at 6:36 p.m.
Titusville police said they are preparing for big crowds at launch-viewing areas.
“Expect delays, congestion and heavy pedestrian traffic at launch viewing areas on U.S.1 and A. Max Brewer Bridge,” police said.
The Falcon Heavy is the fifth-most powerful rocket ever built, the fourth most powerful one ever successfully launched and the most powerful rocket not built by a government. It’s also the cheapest.
The first Heavy launch carried the famed Starman mannequin and his Tesla into deep space.
