Seems like an awful lot of effort just to fly a mannequin in a spacesuit driving a car into space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a test launch that is costing about £90 million, might as well have some fun with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That passenger seat is going to waste. Couldn't they have fired Katie Hopkins or Cockwomble or somebody in there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold on, I've just found out this is an actual thing. I thought it was just some quirky addition to the video. What? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Genuinely emotional watching that. I will freely admit I have a degree in Astronomy, but have not paid much attention to this Musk geezer and his madcap schemes. Been more interested in Philae, New Horizons, Curiosity etc. Seeing those things right there come back down and land safely - wonderful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's total silence on the return of the central rocket, camera cut out as it was due to land. Otherwise an unbelievably successful test. And the thought of that car roaming through space for the next billion years with Bowie on a loop.... I wonder how long a Tesla battery lasts if it's just running the sound system?
