He’s sending a Tesla Roadster to mars?

THAT’S AWESOME

[butlerweave]

Those idiots on Youtube that see Cars on Mars will now see a Car on Mars ,LOL

[Flick Lives]

Several cameras appear to be mounted to the vehicle, so it’s likely that video of its insertion into what Musk said will be a “billion year elliptical Mars orbit” will be released afterward.

Imagine some alien ship, exploring our solar system 50,000 years from now, coming upon the sight of a red convertible orbiting Mars. A real WTF moment.

[ZOOKER]

I understood That the Falcon Heavy really wasn't going to Mars but into deep space, eventually. I had this vision of aliens finding it centuries from now and saying WTF?

Better check the tires and all the fluids, it's gonna be a long trip.

I know of a few dummies that drive Tesla’s that should be blasted into space also!

Hmm--A 1981 animated movie predicted the future:

[bunkerhill7]

The Tesla Roadster will be found by UFO`s, taken back to Alpha Centuri system, reverse engineered, copied, mass produced and imported back to the USA on 5 mile long alien motherships for sale @$500 bucks apiece.

[Moonman62]

People on Reddit say cars are already parking at the viewing locations.

I told this to my wife. She said it would be utterly hilarious if there was some way that SoaceX could have made the car tow the satellite it was launched on.

Imagine the sight... A Tesla Roadster towing a satellite in space. That’d be good for some laughs.
