        SpaceX confirms it lost the center core of the Falcon Heavy | Engadget

        Elon Musk said on a conference call with reporters that the launch "seems to have gone as well as one could have hoped with the exception of center core. The center core obviously didn't land on the drone ship" and he said that "we're looking at the issue." Musk says that the core ran out of propellant, which kept the core from being able to slow down as much as it needed for landing. Because of that, the core apparently hit the water at 300MPH, and it was about 100 meters from the ship. "It was enough to take out two thrusters and shower the deck with shrapnel," Musk said.

          It's not on it's way to Mars any longer - apparently it's going to the asteroid belt. At full payload it now costs $1420 per kg to get stuff into space. The Shuttle was about $18000 per kg.
          Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

            Very impressive, sure I read that musk is aiming at 90m per flight compared to nasa who say it will cost 1 billion dollars.

              The video was great and suitably high tech. Impressed also.
