See the SpaceX Starman's journey through space

SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket was carrying an interesting payload... CEO Elon Musk's own Tesla Roadster driven by a space dummy nicknamed Starman.

That is amazing, I was wonder why I kept seeing memes of a car in space. I remember hearing about how SpaceX would be able to carry heavy pays loads and when I saw the car on pictures of the news I thought it was a joke. then an article told me Elon Musk sent his own car then the joke began to sink into reality. Well this is a true step forward in human technology.

I do think that Elon must have watched the movie Heavy Metal, the character that unites all the stories together is an astronaut traveling through space in a red convertible sports car!

[topspin]

Is there anything real anymore? This is fake

[Mi-Nasuno]

Let’s just hoped that it won’t get hit by a potato-shaped asteroid

[britzman]

Wasn't there a Voyager episode were they found a car floating through space. Um is seems like Star Trek stuff does come to life.

[WarMachine]

I hope his insurance policy covers an asteroid...

[HighFlyer]

If anyone believes any of this they have zero hope

[stanleyoranika]

Why do we have to worry that the batteries die out when we have infinite energy from the sun to power up

[Pablito-sipj]

Fake. But, likely a ruse to cover what real payload was. Think about the recent “failed” launck that operator said “functioned normally”

[missjuggalynne]

The number of ignorant people commenting on here basing their entire opinion of 4 full hours of footage based on the 30 seconds worth that CNN shows them is just ridiculous. If you have questions about SpaceX and Starman- got to the freaking SpaceX channel yourself. View the live footage of the launch and then the 4+ hours of footage captured from Starman and his onboard cameras. Then say whatever ignorant crap you want to spew out your mouth. But at least make an attempt to educate yourself first. Smh

[pandat]

um... pause it at the right time at 0:19 and you see the car in a studio...

[philrabe]

So the big deal is that he engineered a way to lift 2x's the payload for 1/3 the cost of the next best rocket system. Yeah, he actually is a rocket engineer as well as successful CEO.

you do what you want when you poppin. you do what you want when you got it. #STUNTIN

Why is the earth not spinning at 1000 mph?

[hugovega]

It's like the beginning scene in Heavy Metal 1981!

[YouWatchGames]

there is an official space STARMAN APP on Google play, where you have to fly between meteroits and stuff in a tesla! hahaha

[megalenz]

Every time I watch
A video uh-oh
Of some despot,
had a TV show uh-oh
Now he’s broadcasting
From Washington DC

Watched in horror
As he pimped off
human ri-hi-hights
Tweeting garbage
Morning, noon and ni-hi-hights
Masturbating to a military spree

There’s a Starman in case you haven’t heard
He thinks we’re all pathetic
‘cause our souls have been deferred

There’s a starman circling the world
He’s eating Diamond peanuts
And he’s flipping you the bird

Let the tyrants use it
Rip it off, abuse it
While all the people lose it

[vynaslol]

More space trash. They should of returned it back to Earth. Would be extra cool to ride in this.

[Zareldo]

How did they get the camera footage of the cameras in the car? Theres no way to connect to them that far right

[tysonruddock]

Amazing achievement! A car with a green screen backdrop. The people that believe this would likely believe The movie "Gravity" was filmed in "space" if they were told so by an authority figure. Sad 😭
