Rocket Launches in 2018

Spaceflight in 2018: Falcon Heavy flies for the first time in February, sending a Tesla Roadster into orbit around the Sun and landing its two side boosters together. In October a Soyuz booster fails during launch, and the crew lands safely after an abort. Parker Solar Probe heads for the Sun and InSight lands on Mars. China launches more rockets than any other country for the first time.
