Default SpaceX Falcon Heavy static test fire was yesterday 1/24/2018

The SpaceX Falcon Heavy static test fire was yesterday 1/24/2018. From
the looks of the videos posted, it looks to be successful. No earth
shattering kaboom when all 27 engines were up and running.

Next up, launching Musk's red Tesla Roadster (the original model, so
it's "old and busted") into a solar orbit which will go out to the
distance of Mars orbit (Mars will be elsewhere, so no chance of
collision).
