Love him or hate him, Elon Musk and Spacex are killing it.

QuoteSpaceX's brawny Falcon Heavy rocket launched for the seventh time ever Friday night (July 28), sending a huge communications satellite skyward.

The Falcon Heavy lifted off Friday at 11:04 p.m. EDT (0304 GMT on July 29) from Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida, carrying the Jupiter 3 satellite skyward.

The launch kicked off a record-breaking mission: Jupiter 3 is the largest commercial communications satellite ever built, according to its operator, Hughes Network Systems.
