Photo credit to Space X. Thought you all would like to see the final pic taken before the camera battery died. What a shot!

How lonely we are in the universeâŚ
Itâs incredibly humbling to see that the world weâve always known is a ball of floating rock in the midst of vast space⌠less than a speck in the entirety of the cosmos. Itâd be an awfully big waste of space if we were the only lifeforms out thereâŚ

You would think with a car ment to have a massive battery they could keep the camera alive a little longer, still cool though

My thought exactly⌠they shouldâve invested some of that solar tech they have so we could watch this journey for years.
Didnât someone mention though the car is gonna miss marsâs orbit? Would be awesome to see more of space other than the rocks on mars from rover.

Million dollar rocket thatâs supposed to orbit us, they couldnât hook up the camera to the main powerâŚ
Cool picture though love what spaceX is doing to the air&space industry!
Yep, going to Ceres. Sure beats the normal NASA test payload of âconcrete â. How boring is that?

This planet is so boring we have now resorted to shooting random things off into space. Next there going to blow a Cessna 172 into space just for fun.

Now that would be interesting, since it wouldnât even make a soundâŚ

My guessâŚvehicle had main battery removed for weight and balance.
Everything about the Falcon Heavy and the Tesla in space is very cool.
The flat earth believers really had a bad day with all the pictures debunking their madness!
Iâm sure most of you have seen this, but if not, here is the YouTube stream of Starman after launch. Over 4 hours of the nicest space video Iâve ever seen:

This in my opinion marks the ignition to manâs flame in space. The invention of interplanetary colonization. Future generations would come to see this rather absurd payload as a remarkable impact on human spaceflight history. I honestly cannot bear to wait much longer to see us harness the limit and beyond for our knowledge of technology and most importantly, the ability to live and adapt to new environments.

Imagine being so rich that you can shoot a car into space for no good reason. Well played, Elon Musk, well played.

I know the star man videos arenât live, but we can always watch live video from the ISS. Itâs really cool to watch a couple hours before and after a docking/undocking.
This is too funny man.
You realise how hard it would be to make years of CGI? Iâm just kidding
Shame they couldnât have it last longer though.

They should have had a small solar panel attached to the camera with a rechargable battery.

I mean if they are able to continuously play the song âIs There Life On Marsâ then the camera probably should have been hooked up to that battery that will last a lifetime with the radio đ
âDONâT PANIC!â is by far the best part.
