What, no talk about the Tesla circling Mars??? From here you can see the launches at the Cape. I never really got the interest up for the "space age". I thought some here would be all over this. Looks like the private companies have it all over NASA. They managed to launch this huge rocket. It was equipped with 3 boosters. They landed the first 2 at the pad and the 3rd booster landed on a barge at sea. That's a pretty neat trick. When NASA launches, most of their boosters are lost at sea.
Anyhoo, these guys payloaded a Tesla with an empty space suit at the wheel. This thing is rigged with sensors of all kinds and cameras up the wazoo. So it's a convertible spaceship with no driver. It's on an orbit around Mars I believe. The link is for live feed of the Tesla which is pretty boring but some of the shots get really neat with the Earth in the background. I'm wondering what any other space travelers are gonna be thinking when they come across this...:rolleyes:
 
We get -45° occasionally, Skip... nothing like outer space. I can't say I've seen anybody bawling around in a roadster, though I drove a topless Jimmy one winter. (I got some strange looks as you can imagine.)

Sorry, smallfoot. I remain ignorant to the Tesla in space. (I promise I'll read into it and learn something!) In the meantime, your thread reminds me of this...
