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

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.

Absolutely the best part of the launch event...
Say, I wonder where Elon Musk got that idea?... <O>

I'm fascinated by it.
I also hope I will live long enough to see it come true. Markus |

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.

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 ..
