Tesla Roadster Sent to Space!?!
The SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket was carrying a unique payload when launched into orbit today. A cherry red Tesla Roadster. The car will be orbiting mars and you can view it's Journey on the livefeed from SpaceX:
Watch the Tesla Roadster in Space
About two and a half minutes after the launch, two of the three boosters on the rocket detached and landed upright, at the same time, at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. This is amazing technology by the SpaceX foundation to be able to re-use rocket parts.
The Tesla Roadsters radio has David Bowie’s song Life on Mars playing on repeat. It is estimated that the Roadsters batteries will last about 12 hours in space before running out of a charge.

What this new technologi
The car was sort of a silly publicity stunt, but for some reason, it really cheered me up. At least, Mr. Musk has a sense of humor. And yeah, I hope that's really a dummy in the space suit and not one of his enemies.
Good job. Keep it up
I hope for the best.
So exciting and uber-cool!
I hope Musk don't lose his wife or something else. I dont want to see him to become a super villian :D
How long has Nasa been launching rocket, I don't recall any relanding perfectly
Good
It's so cool that the card will actually be orbiting mars
Elon Musk really knows how to put up a show
Go Elon MUSK!!! Homeboy from South Africa repping the motherland bigtime!!
