Silly Season
What?! Elon Musk uses his new powerful SpaceX rocket to send a Tesla sportscar to Mars ... see: Quartz Story. Is this a rational use of assets all around? Feels like PR hokum to me.
Because he can. I'll bet a nickel that every aerospace geek around the world has a big smile over this act. Even the Russians, the Chinese, and "Little Rocket Man."
Yes. And "Wow!". Makes me smile.

ReplyDeleteDid you see the two first stage rockets land simultaneously vertically. Wow! The other rocket (almost) landed on a barge at sea.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed with the technology. Does the Tesla have an engine?
DeleteAll electric vehicles have motors not engines. But rather than quibble, it could be a car that got trashed in a flood but still looks good.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't the batteries catch on fire when water touched them in a flood?
