RE: Space X loses its Falcon Heavy core during maiden voyage | Engadget Today

I have to say that I'm a bit shocked..... why a car ????
Imagine the aliens see this. What will they think of us ?
Is the car fully operational ??
It will probably get towed.

Sort:  

I also heard they usually use concrete blocks or steel to test rocket payloads and Musk said that was boring... I'd guess pr stunt combined with WAY too much money = Tesla on the end of a rocket.

That makes more sense

They will most likely be like DAMN where do I get one!

Normally you shot cement blocks in the air for tests like this.
The marketing was successfully when all say: "Why a car and why a tesla. "
You talking about it, thats why.

It was pretty much a PR-stunt by Elon Musk to promote Tesla. But a pretty good one!

Oh and it was an "old" Tesla Roadster, an outdated car.

Thank you very much. Our this right that we similar post apply and the poor sound become, thanks

I think the car should have melted or started to once exposed in space. Only the spacesuit was built to withstand those elements. It went thru lots of temperature changes.
