I’ve got my fingers crossed for Tesla’s success too. I drove one recently in the hands-off navigation mode in heavy traffic on a winding twisting highway interchange on an overcast day. Scary as hell. I think I held my breath.

Those cars are like maintenance free except if the batteries ever need replaced. The electric motors decelerate a Tesla real quick so breaks get little use. Wild quiet ride. Talk about torque. And acceleration is like 0-65 in < 4 seconds. wow

If they can ever get the batteries perfected it should be great. Right now Tesla bleeds money. They say the plant is a high tech sweat shop with workers pushed to the point of passing out. Bring on the robots I guess.beer

Incredible Galrads. I am not at all surprised that one day, all these space travels being conceived now will be a reality soon.

Sir Richard Branson has already collected billions of dollars for travel and living in space in his project. Virgin Galactica.

He put his own Tesla Roadster in space with the with the SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch and it’s now on its way to Mars with a dummy spaceman in the driver’s seat and David Bowie music playing......

I would love to have worked with someone pushing the different technology envelopes like Musk is. That’s genius imo.

I wish someone could give me a logical reason for putting a sports car with a crash dummy into space other than theatrics.

He's out doing the US space program and the Russians too. Pretty impressive. I think the Chinese are getting serious too. Thanks for sharing.

Being from South Africa, his mission should be stopping White Genocide, not Mars frustrated

Who knows. Saying you're going to Mars is a good way of attracting all the best engineers and getting them to work their balls off.

On the contrary imperialist whites are precisely the people to conquer the stars. The battle hardened last man of diversity, if anybody was developed to leave the human race behind it is them.

Back at the start of WW2 a book was published by Werner Von Braun, it was called Project Mars. The book described the Martian Government, the name of the President was Elon.
