WASHINGTON — A high-tech entrepreneur unveiled plans Tuesday to launch the world’s most powerful rocket since man went to the moon.
Space Exploration Technology already has sent the first private rocket and capsule into Earth’s orbit as a commercial venture. It is now planning a rocket that could lift twice as much cargo into orbit as the soon-to-be-retired space shuttle.
Space X’s new rocket, called Falcon Heavy, is big enough to send cargo or even people out of Earth’s orbit to the moon, an asteroid or Mars.
