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

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.

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

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

Holy crap that's a beautiful sight!

Mr Quatro · 02-06-18, 03:47 PM

Wow!

Eichhörnchen · 02-06-18, 03:48 PM

I just missed it... is it over?

Gargamel · 02-06-18, 03:50 PM

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.
