US entrepreneur Elon Musk has launched his new rocket, the Falcon Heavy, from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
美国企业家埃隆-马斯克在佛罗里达州肯尼迪航天中心成功发射了最新的猎鹰重型火箭。
The mammoth vehicle - the most powerful since the shuttle system - lifted clear of its pad without incident to soar high over the Atlantic Ocean.
猎鹰重型火箭是目前运力最强的火箭。火箭成功发射升空,飞向大西洋上空。
It was billed as a risky test flight in advance of the lift-off.
在升空之前,这被认为是一次冒险的试飞。
SpaceX公司CEO马斯克在首秀前接受采访时表示,只要不炸毁发射平台,他就认为猎鹰重型火箭的首秀是成功的。
Speaking to reporters ahead of the Cape Canaveral launch, he said: "It’ll be a really huge downer if it blows up. I would consider it a win if it just clears the pad and doesn’t blow the pad to smithereens. That’s four million pounds of TNT equivalent so there’s probably not going to be much left if that thing lets loose on the pad."
他在发射前接受记者采访时说:“如果发射时发生爆炸,那将非常令人沮丧。只要不把发射平台炸成一片废墟,我就认为获得了成功。那可相当于400万磅(约合181万公斤)TNT爆炸当量,所以如果真的炸毁发射平台,将会片瓦不留。”
