On one hand it is very inspiring to see what a private company can do: Headed by Elon Musk, his company SpaceX managed the first successful Falcon Heavy test flight into space, with synchronous autonomous landing of the boosters – a stunning coverage.
On the other hand it is very disturbing to see what SpaceX is using this test flight for: In space they have released a red Tesla Roadster with “Starman”, an astronaut-suited mannequin driver, and cameras for live video coverage on the way to Mars.
So let’s get familiar with life on Mars – one car will be already there. 😉 The Daft Punk / The Weeknd song “I Feel It Coming” gives an impression of life on Mars. 🙂
