Left hand turn signal still on?

[UCANSEE2]

Can’t tell. The batteries in the Tesla went dead several days ago.

[deadrock]

No no no. Can't you see the extension cord?

[Fungi]

This is a joke. Musk polluting the universe? Bleeding heart rabid liberals don’t care?

[Zhang Fei]

Great sleight of hand, executed just before an earnings report involving yet another big loss.

CONSIDER A DAILY CHANGE JAR TO OPERATE FR

Click The Pic

You won't even miss the 25 or 50 cents, but at the end of the month
you will have at least $5 to donate so FR can operate smoothly,
or you will moan and groan and go into withdrawal
when it is down, because of broken parts,
or over loaded servers during crisis events.

Did they ever stop to think how hard it is going to be to change a flat tire on that thing???

[rlmorel]

LOL, taking a leak might be hard too.

Because of his thread, I finally spent the last hour looking up videos and articles about the Falcon Heavy launch, Starman and his Roadster, and the landing of the two outer boosters. I couldn’t find video of the crash of the core booster. It’s really quite amazing stuff that SpaceX is doing. There is a great article out there with a side by side comparison of Falcon Heavy to Saturn V too - https://newatlas.com/falcon-heavy-saturn-v/53090/.

Stopped by the Moon to pick up Alice.

[UCANSEE2]

Don't see a cord. Here is one with the headlights on. Gee... wonder where Elon got the idea for this anyway ?

[UCANSEE2]

Musk polluting the universe?

It's an electric car. : )

[UCANSEE2]

Actually, it had a solar panel roof which was supposed to charge the batteries, but then Elon had them fold up the top so the astronaut could be seen.

[Fungi]

You mean no coal in outer space? Where is the electric plug?

[minnesota_bound]

Looks like it is tumbling. Driver must be drunk.

The last paragraph in your link is sad. We do not have the people or the tools to build another Saturn V. Terrible.

[OrioleFan]

Quark will clean up Elon Musk’s pollution.

Yeah, time goes by and things change. I love the statistics on the Saturn V vs the Falcon Heavy in that article though. The next thing they are working on for space travel is called the “BFR”.
