SPACEX LAUNCH A TESLA ROADSTER IN THE SPACE!

SPACEX today made history when it successfully launched a roadster sports car into space on board of the Falcon Heavy rocket

In one of the uncommon sights ever caught on camera, a cherry-red sports car was filmed barrelling through the atmosphere at high speed towards Mars.
SpaceX successfully carried out its test flight of the Falcon Heavy rocket with one of Elon Musk’s electric cars in the payload cargo.
The Falcon Heavy took off from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, after 3.45pm EST (8.45pm GMT).
The thrilling 10 second countdown to launch was cheered on by the thousands of space boffins and astronomy enthusiast who watched the launch live.

The Tesla Roadster is now speeding towards the Red Planet with David Bowie’s hit song “Space Oddity” playing on loop.
The car was last seen on SpaceX’s live broadcast of the launch, flying over the breathtaking blue planet below it, before the stream cut out.
A short tongue-in-cheek message on the car’s dashboard read: “Don’t panic”.
