The SpaceX Falcon Heavy had a successful launch from historic Launchpad 39A inside NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. After delays due to upper level winds early on in the 1:30pm launch window, the huge rocket was able to launch just before the end of its 4pm window at 3:45pm ET.

This is a developing story; we’ll have more on today’s historic launch soon.
