00:00There are rockets that are constantly in the spotlight. You see them everywhere.
00:04Launches every few days, live streams, explosions, landings, and booster ballet.
00:10And then there's the Falcon Heavy, the most powerful active rocket in the Western world.
00:16At least, as long as Starship isn't operational yet. And still, you hear surprisingly little
00:22about it. No regular launches, no constant presence, almost silence. And that is exactly
00:28what raises a question that's being asked more and more often. Where is Falcon Heavy?
00:33The last flight of this rocket took place in October 2024. The Europa Clipper mission,
00:40a NASA probe that is scheduled to arrive at Jupiter's moon Europa in 2030. Cool mission,
00:46but radio silence ever since. No launches, no big show, no twin booster landings. And for a rocket
00:54that was once announced as a game changer, that seems kind of strange. Let's briefly
00:59look back. When the Falcon Heavy made its maiden flight in 2018 and sent a Tesla Roadster toward
01:06Mars, it wasn't just a launch.
