What's this now?

It happened about 5 minutes before I posted. SpaceX launched their heavy rocket with Musk's car on board. It's heading towards Mars(orbit).

Do they intend to drive the car at some point?

I guess if Musk ever goes to Mars he might ask to get it from orbit.

Yeah impressive! I was just talking to my coworker about it. It seems like in the few years Space X has been around, they've done things NASA never came close to, with rockets anyway.

It seems the car is going to pass Mar's orbit and head to the asteroid belt, plan is to go to Ceres.
