Heavy Metal, anyone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_KXgFpguE0 I mean, it's totally intentional, but still.

This has to be the fastest moving factory car in history!
mmmmBaconStrips
All I know is, he's called the STIG

"I should stop playing KSP so much." *watches Falcon Heavy launch feckin' nail it* "Whelp, KSP sounds fun right about now..."

There will*

The Stig, unable to be contained by the new top gear crew leaves the Earth in search of a faster car.
richardson1701
Some say he went home to his people. Others say he was hired by the fastest man alive. We know he's not the stig, but he is the Martian.

It's not flying, it's falling... with style!

I love it but start getting Kessler syndrome jittery when thinking it. http://www.spacesafetymagazine.com/space-debris/kessler-syndrome/

Oh, no. It's already cleared the orbital vicinity of Earth. NO KESSLER FOR YOU!
CotterPyke
close enough.

That's how I want to go, like in the movie Heavy Metal

I feel like I missed another news event by not watching the news.

Thats a real picture of a car in space that got launched on the most powerful extant rocket's inaugural launch. (Saturn V was more powerful)
Pyrohawk
Sweet.

This recaptures a little of the excitement from the Gemini and Apollo heydays.
richardson1701
Give it four years.
Rip42
Can't wait for the SLS mission around the moon. Hopefully the unmanned one going up next year.
OperationRustysBlanket
Those boosters landing together was earth shatteringly beautiful to me. I misted up no joke
MajorLeagueFister
I thought it was CGI at first. It was too perfect. And yet...
feedthemcake
Yeah that was jaw dropping. Incredible.
SamaelTheVenomOfGod
I legit believe we may have witnesses the start of a new age with what happened today.
KanyeWesticularCancer
Right? My parents got to see the moon landing. I got to see the Falcon Heavy. I’ll take it.
AttractedToShinyThings
I saw both. I remember school librarian telling us, as we sat in front of the TV, how lucky we were to be alive to witness that. Same today.
twofishtails
I've seen both now, and I feel like I'm a kid again. What a time to be alive.
Jattatak
You'll see mars landing too. Without a doubt.
OperationRustysBlanket
Those 2 boosters landing together made me tear up a bit.
axionzetaone
AND THEY NAIL THE LANDING! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
KanyeWesticularCancer
Wish I could’ve rolled down my window and told them why I was so excited.
KanyeWesticularCancer
I was cheering. I watched it while at work as a delivery driver. Got some weird looks from the people at my stoplight.
shortbutsquat
The initial space race was a military cold war toy. Let's hope that this is a positive step in a better direction
KanyeWesticularCancer
Exactly. The difference between now and then is that Elon genuinely cares about scientific advancement for the sake of it.
BillyMaysHereWithOxiClean
I mean, regardless of the reasons for it, the space race was a pretty big positive for humanity.
NotNotDeadpool
Hah. Good one.
GuardsmanMiku
bfr test in maybe 3-4 years. Thats gonna be a sight to see
xanthio
I was excited to see Falcon Heavy on the live stream, BFR will be one I'll be temped to go watch in person.

"It's obviously real because it looks so fake" Elon Musk
iDrawStuff
Oddly, I had the same thought earlier.
rdfox76
"If it was fake, we'd have WAY better CGI." --also Elon
raulote
Literally no one calls him like that.
theboringusername
That made me laugh out loud. Meta
getmo
I'm still slightly miffed he said that. But I have to angrily shrug it off, since if moon hoaxers/flattards don't believe by now, never will
fiddlelajman
I think they were joking about that in the press room and he addressed it.
ChaosandChaos
It's true for a lot of things. My friend does sfx makeup and she showed me awesome gory sfx that looked real. Then what she used as research
ChaosandChaos
That looked so fake.
truthsmiles
I feel like that was a troll anyway.
khora
He then explained why it looks fake.
Koala1923
Got a source?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KORTP545vAc - I'd hide the live chat though. Bunch of savages people are.
getmo
Explanations don't matter to people like that. I've tried, too often. They heard what they want and it confirmed their crazy beliefs. Ohwell
distractionfactory
I love debating theoretical ideas and concepts with people, but some of them go to coocoololly land so all you can do is up the crazy anti.
distractionfactory
Flying Spaghetti Monster legitimately comes in handy sometimes.

There's gonna be some very very confused alien archeologists someday.
Thisisimgurhearmeroar
It'll be on Mars. Technically, we're the alien archeologists.
Mitchz95
It's not actually going to Mars, just a Mars-crossing orbit around the Sun.
Kodaxmax
very confused archaeologists in general, i mean our current ones get confused by some of the dumb shit our ancestors did.
SailorBOB
1) Earth archeologists: We found bits of pottery in a ditch, we now know everything about this lost civilization.
SailorBOB
2) Cosmic archeologists: We found this thing... we know they worshipped a space god called Bowie.
Kodaxmax
well as an example we open a tomb and find a bunch of curses on the wall that make no logical sense because we dont worship a bird person
Kodaxmax
that ferries the sun across the sky in a small rowboat.
