On Tuesday, something truly ridiculous is going to space.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX is launching the first flight of its new rocket, the Falcon Heavy. And what is it taking to space? Perhaps a satellite? Maybe a student experiment? Nope!
SpaceX is launching a cherry red Tesla Roadster blasting “Space Oddity” by David Bowie into a distant orbit around Mars.
It’s pointless. It’s dumb. It’s corporate synergy at its worst. But, oh boy, do I love it.
I love the thought of a car drifting apparently endlessly through space and perhaps being discovered by an alien race millions of years in the future
