Falcon Heavy launch simulation - Roadster in space...

25 second video of the car and its view of earth, with audio, including a bit of Elon's joking reaction to the image

Did the core make it or nah?

Ah, of course.

It's a bit odd that they signed off so quickly, without waiting for the status of the core landing, and the second second stage burn. They always do that for the commercial launches.

I’d have to assume 2 out of 3 at this point.

Upper stage restart tweeted a bit ago.

I’m assuming they want to drop the live feed for cost reasons. This was a lot more viewed than other launches.

Good job, Elon

 

[mkspeedr]

Musk is my hero but does he even understand how cool he is???

Imagine:
Me: How is it going?
Elon: Not bad - just charged my Tesla roadster built by the world changing car company using solar powered roof tiles before I launched it into space with my revolutionary space/rocket company. How is it going with you?
Me: Not bad until I realized I have done nothing with my life.

What a day.

Can someone ID this circuit board? Elon Musk on Instagram: “Printed on the circuit board of a car in deep space”

It's one of the boards in the PEM. I've got a pic somewhere.

So you're saying every original Roadster has the "Made on Earth..." text hidden away in the PEM?

Can't say for sure they all do, just know mine does.

It is a good thing they printed that so the aliens know where to bring it back for service...

Ranger service may be preemptively expensive.

someone needs to confirm this ASAP!

 

[thefortunes]

That was somewhat tongue in cheek. I don't know why they all wouldn't if mine does.

My PEM is currently undergoing impulsive disassembly. Thanks Elon.

Mine has that on several circuit boards. It was probably just a cute joke at the time. Little did they know...

I always questioned the "humans" part. It might have been designed by humans but that board was definitely made by a robot. Just sayin'

Did not see anything on the 2.5 boards when I had them apart - I will be doing a little pre-emptive surgery next weekend and will double check...

Mine is a 2.5 and definitely on there.

Just look under the small cover. It is printed on the fuse board for the charge cables on the 2.0 and 2.5.
