Good job he used a Tesla Roadster and not a Range Rover - Could you imagine the fault codes and Bongs that would be going off now!! |

The synchronised landing of two booster rockets was awesome. (pity about the third though).

If he'd have really thought about it, he should have timed the launch so that the car would have passed close to the ISS and they could have taken some great images of it going past!! |

I thinks its making many build up orbits of the earth before being released from earths gravity and being thrown in the general direction of Mars give or take a few hundred thousand miles.... |

Yeah, it only has the 2010 sat nav disc fitted. He refused to pay the extortionists at JLR for a more up to date disc. Not that i'm bitter (much). |

The technical language your using is quite confusing it gave me a mental picture of a load of boffins sitting around planning the trip while all smoking from a huge bong in the middle of the desk , giggling as terms like , trajectory were dropped and terms like ' thrown in the general direction of Mars' were used instead 2015 4.4 AB GSXR 1000 K5 R1 1998 |

Surely though, instead of playing 'Starman', Bowies 'Life on Mars' would have been a better choice |
