SpaceX aiming for first Falcon Heavy launch on Feb. 6

SpaceX is aiming to launch its long-awaited Falcon Heavy rocket in less than two weeks.

Chief Executive Elon Musk tweeted Saturday that the Hawthorne space company is targeting Feb. 6 for the demonstration launch of its heavy-lift rocket.

The Falcon Heavy will launch from the former Apollo launch pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Musk has said the rocket's payload will be his midnight cherry Tesla Roadster, which will be headed toward Mars.
