Tesla the first automaker to deliver cars to two Planets

Shotwell: “The first cars on Mars will be Teslas.”

The first car delivered off-planet was an Oldsmobile. The moon buggies that NASA sent to the moon by the Apollo program were Oldsmobiles. Three were delivered, in 1971-1972 on Apollo 15, 16, 17.

And they were electric too.

The quote is verbatim “first on Mars ” and the claim is first to 2 planets.

And your argument is about the moon.


Right on.

Perhaps I can’t count to two but I thought earth and mars would be two planets

The moon is not a planet.

To a planetary scientist it is. Might well end up classified as one if people like Alan Stern have their way I believe the latest preferred term is "moon planet", although I've also seen "planetary moon" used in the past. Basically, these large "round" (hydrostatic equilibrium) moons are structured like planets and unlike small moons and asteroids.

It's also worth pointing out that to the ancient Greeks, who gave us the term "planet" (via πλανήτης), the moon was also a planet.

That's the last on this subject, with moon-shaped MOD hat on. But now I'm night, night. This is a placeholder!

A Moon is not a Planet!

There is a huge difference delivering a car to the Moon versus Mars.
