Elon Musk Is Launching A Tesla To Mars That’s Playing David Bowie On Loop

Authored by alt1053.radio.com and submitted by khvou76

So, Elon Musk’s SpaceX is set to launch its Falcon Heavy rocket into space. Normal enough, right? Well, this one will be headed for Mars where it’ll eventually drop off of a Tesla Roadster to orbit around the planet.

That car will be playing David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’ on loop.

The Martians will be confused, but hopefully they dig the sounds of David Bowie.

Bowie playing Nikola Tesla in the Prestige has now come full circle.

It is not going to Mars:

The car will not go into orbit around Mars. Rather the second stage of the Heavy is to fire three times to send the car on an elliptical orbit around the sun that extends as far out as Mars, and that car could remain in orbit for hundreds of millions of years. At times, it might pass very close to Mars, and Mr. Musk said there was an “extremely tiny” chance that it could crash into Mars.
