The defense department is one of the biggest beneficiaries of this great innovation because its capabilities will be enhanced in one way or the other. John Young was one the people who recognized the contribution that Falcon Heavy will bring to the defense department because Falcon Heavy comes with many advantages than disadvantages.
Advantages of Falcon Heavy
According to John Young, the launch of Falcon Heavy will open another door for many more great discoveries in the space industry thereby improving the potential and capacity of the Defense Department because things will now be cheap and easy. This is due to the fact that the aim of the defense department is to try as much as possible to cut cost while at the same time getting the best results from their investment. This means that Falcon Heavy meet all the requirements because it is less costly or a quarter of the total cost. In this regard, Falcon Heavy will be the greatest investment that the defense department can invest in because of its features which have not been seen in the past. These unique features place Falcon Heavy as the powerful and greatest operational rocket in the whole world because no other rocket is superior to it as it has the ability to send sophisticated and heavy payloads to the far space.
Enhancing security missions
The plan to authorize Falcon Heavy to be used by the Airforce will enable accomplishment of the security missions thereby making the US and other parts of the world safer than before. This means Falcon Heavy will be in a position to tackle some of the world's security problems like terrorism which is a menace in many parts of the world.
