I hope it makes far enough away from the pad that it does not cause pad damage. I would consider even that a win, to be honest. ... I think Falcon Heavy is going to be a great vehicle. There is just so much that is really impossible to test on the ground. We'll do our best. ... It actually ended up being way harder to do Falcon Heavy than we thought. At first it sounds real easy; you just stick two first stages on as strap-on boosters. How hard can that be? But then everything changes. [the loads change, aerodynamics totally change, tripled vibration and acoustics, you break the qualification levels on all the hardware, redesign the center core airframe, separation systems] ... Really way, way more difficult than we originally thought. We were pretty naive about that. ... but optimized, its 2 1/2 times the payload capability of Falcon 9.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=unknown&rft.btitle=Elon+Musk%2C+ISS+R%26D+Conference&rft.place=ISS+R%26D+Conference%2C+Washington+D.C.%2C+U.S.&rft.date=2017-07-19&rft.aulast=Musk&rft.aufirst=Elon&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DBqvBhhTtUm4%3Ft%3D852&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AFalcon+Heavy" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-21"><a href="#cite_ref-21">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222" /><cite id="CITEREFMusk2005" class="citation web cs1">Musk, Elon (20 December 2005). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.spacex.com/news/2005/12/19/june-2005-december-2005">"June 2005 through September 2005 Update"</a>.
