SpaceX Prepares Falcon 9 Block 5 for Maiden Launch

Description

The Falcon 9 rocket is quickly becoming the most used delivery vehicle for getting to space. SpaceX has successfully launched 55 Falcon 9 missions since it debuted in 2010. This year alone the Falcon 9 has flown seven times, with a scheduled launch for May 11th. But the latest launch will be a first for SpaceX. The Falcon 9 Block 5 will be the last version of the company's workhorse rocket. The Block 5 features a larger booster than previous versions of the Falcon 9.
