A Red Tesla for Mars. I am happy to share what some did not believe to be true… Elon’s roadster is the payload for the maiden flight of the Falcon Heavy in January. Here is is in the cavernous carbon fiber fairing that closes like a clam shell to form the bulbous nose of the Rocket.
From Elon: “Test flights of new rockets usually contain mass simulators in the form of concrete or steel blocks. That seemed extremely boring.
Of course, anything boring is terrible, especially companies, so we decided to send something unusual, something that made us feel.
The payload will be an original Tesla Roadster, playing Space Oddity, on a billion year elliptic Mars orbit.”
And by coincidence, I drew “the Elon card” while playing Apples to Apples with the kids.
