Animation of launch set to David Bowie's Life on Mars.
^The car looks tiny compared to the rocket in that. Shows how much energy is needed to put things in space. Watch online from 6:30 PM tonight on the video below. Quote:

Can't he just ..give me the car?
I wonder what an alien race would think if they see it hurtling through space.

Iconic music.
I wonder if this counts as pollution of space or flytipping. Thanks for sharing James, that made me smile.

When I read before about the car I thought it sounded a bit trivial considering it will last about a billion years, and is an artifact of our time. They could have chosen items which reflect 2018 more - like a different model of car. |

I was going to ask, why are they sending a car up? Then I read: "... because of the historic high failure rate of maiden flights, only a dummy payload is being risked. Mr Musk has decided this should be his old cherry-red Tesla roadster with a space-suited mannequin strapped in the driver's seat...." LOL... I love it.
Thank you for posting this James, I'm going to watch. Last edited by Livia; 06-02-2018 at 02:14 PM. |
