“send his red Tesla Roadster into space.”
—
As far as I’m concerned, they can send all the plug-in cars into deep,deep space.Along with the driverless cars.
Where’s the outrage over the planet/climate impact of this carbon-burning/resource-wasting ego exercise?
Would not it be cheaper to send an old golf cart up?
How long will the Tesla batteries hold their charge in the temperature extremes of outer space?
Capitalism expanding into space exploration is a good thing, I think it’s great. NASA has been mothballed by Obama and will take a long time to recover. Sadly, we are currently paying the Russians to let us hitch a ride to the ISS... we can do better, let private industry lead the way.
Its a waste of a car. They cant send anything more useful up?
That was one impressive launch and the landing of the boosters was....er...awesomer! Musk’s Tesla with Starman zipping through the Solar System is just icing on the cake.
Haven’t felt so giddy since the first Shuttle launch.
