Today, Space X will commence the STP-2 mission, stated by Elon Musk as being the most difficult launch to date. The mission will use a Falcon Heavy rocket to put 24 payloads into 3 different orbits. The 2 side boosters will come back to land at LZ-1 and LZ-2 at Cape Canaveral, and the centre core will land on “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship situated in the Atlantic Ocean. You can watch the launch live here.

Update: The primary mission of STP-2 was successful, along with 2/3 of secondary mission landing both side boosters. Congratulations again to all involved with the planning and execution of the mission!
