Falcon Heavy to launch this December

Last year on September 1st, 2016, one of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets exploded on their launch pad before performing a routine static fire for the upcoming Amos-6 launch. Since then, SpaceX has recovered from that anomaly and have launched 13 missions since then. Throughout the year, they have been working hard on getting LC-40 back online for Falcon 9 launches to make room for Falcon Heavy launches from LC-39a, the launch pad they're currently using for Falcon 9. SpaceX's CRS-13 launch will be the first launch from LC-40 since the Sep. 1st anomaly early this December and the Falcon Heavy now has a tentative launch date of

Dec. 29th with a static fire on Dec. 15th. The Falcon Heavy rocket is a 3-core version of a Falcon 9 rocket that will be the most capable active rocket once launched. It will also attempt a land landing of both side boosters simultaneously back at SpaceX's Landing Zone area and possibly a core booster landing on land, but will most likely land on their droneship "Of Course I Still Love You".
