Knowing Elon Musk, I bet it is more likely the idea came from the opening to Heavy Metal. :yep:

Not to be a nit, but the roadster isn't new, I believe it was Elon's personal car for many years, and he was planning on retiring it anyways.

You will have to take that problem up with Starfleet Command they haven't upgraded their sensor's since June 3, 1969.

I am aware of remakes and other shows with the same characters using Spock as the Science officer on the USS Enterprise, but sensors are expensive to keep up with :yep:

Absolutely the best part of the launch event...

Say, I wonder where Elon Musk got that idea?... :hmmm:

SpaceX and Mars
 

This is pretty exciting... hope I live long enough to witness it.

I'll get my coat :03:

Well, considering the test bed hopper just fell over and collapsed.....

I'm fascinated by it.

I also hope I will live long enough to see it come true.

Those boosters, oh those boosters
 

Those returning booster-rockets point-landing on their landing pads is a view that stuns me time and again. That a pole with flames at one and lands in this fashion on its end without wings, without rotor, without any visible assistance device or guiding rail, just does clicks in my head and then echos on and on. For me a truly unbelievable sight. Thats sight mesmerizes me more than a landing orbiter or a walk on the moon.

Like a movie of a missile start played backwards.

Another job well done for SpaceX! :up:

Yes, it's phantastic and unbelievable to watch. Doing that only by "analogue means" alone like gyrocompass and hydraulics was probably not possible before.

Has been a dream for some time ..
