Of all the goofy stunts he's pulled, putting a Car into Martian orbit has to be up there....

This is powerful and exciting ... two big rockets coming back for a landing :o

plus the 90 million dollars it cost too :o

3-1 it gets scrubbed for some reason.

1-10 Some thing catastrophic happens.

Well, they needed a weighted payload, as they were going to do the test flight regardless. The car is just a great publicity stunt. The final orbit is so weird, that there weren't alot of research or commercial payloads willing to take a ride, let alone risk the craft altogether on an untested vehicle.

3 minutes to go!

I rather go to bed. :zzz:

I find Space dark and cold and full of trash floating around Earth's orbit. :rolleyes:

3. The main booster will land on a barge. Hopefully.

And yes, I'm treating this thread like a chat room :)

less than a minute

Holy crap that's a beautiful sight!

Wow!

I just missed it... is it over?

HA!!!! The navsat screen on the car says DON'T PANIC! LOL!

If I didn't know that was rel, there would be no way you'd convince me that image of a car in space wasn't CGI.

Boosters are coming down now... watch the feed!

Holy... wow.... synchronized booster landing!
