And now, he’s gone and done it.
This is Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster,
floating in outer space.
When Elon Musk, CEO of both Tesla and SpaceX,
announced that he’d be putting his own
original Tesla Roadster on top of the very
first Falcon Heavy test flight to act as ballast,
everyone thought he was joking.
And then pictures started showing up of the
car being loaded into the payload bay of the
rocket.
It’s incredibly surreal to see it just,
well, floating there.
The Roadster will eventually be pushed into
a solar orbit, where it’ll probably be the
last car to ever exist after humanity has
successfully annihilated its own planet.
For Jalopnik, I'm Michael Ballaban.
