If he's so smart, why did he put the car in the asteroid belt and not on a road?
That launch happened Feb 2018. By that time, I was already solidified as a musk sceptic and didn’t pay attention to the hubbub. Thinking back on it:
What I like about the phrasing “possibility of something new” is that nothing new really happened with that launch. We’ve already sent all kinds of junk into space in configurations varying in impressiveness.
Publicity stunt for both SpaceX and Tesla, as well as Musk himself, and a successful one at that.
🙄🙄🙄
Hope Musk’s existence and influence today was worth it, nerds from 2018!
