Millions of people tuned in to watched the historic launch of the Falcon Heavy — SpaceX’s largest operational rocket. But none of them were as invested as SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.
“Holy flying fuck, that thing took off,” he said from mission control before running outside to watch booster soar through the air.
Musk stood amongst awe-struck onlookers, hands over his head, beaming with joy as the rocket blasted past the atmosphere. National Geographic captured these moments along with more behind-the-scenes reactions of the tech mogul during launch day.
The exclusive Nat Geo footage was filmed in preparation for the second season of MARS — a documentary series returning to Nat Geo this fall. A camera crew followed Musk and his team on launch day to give viewers a first-hand account of how they were feeling during this much-anticipated event.
