Space Rockets
In movies, pictures, and online videos, space rockets are often portrayed as massive but no bigger than the average plane. Elon Musk is working tirelessly to make space travel a reality; thus, we can now see how massive a space rocket is. Recently, SpaceX launched the Falcon Heavy rocket into space, and pictures of the launch immediately surfaced online. The thing that baffled most people is the enormous size of the side boosters. To put this into perspective, the average Boeing 787 is usually between 160 to 190 feet long, while the Falcon Heavy side booster is 230 feet long.
