I'm glad we have found that 2.5%, now we can try to work out the other 95%.

3 Billion Light Years away and I can barely pick up a radio station 80km away :x

I love the idea that if humanity is ever wiped out, that one day some aliens will be visiting the neighbourhood only to see a Tesla car floating around Mars with the sounds of David Bowie blasting out.

It would indeed :datass:
Although it would totally wipe out the launchpad and set this back years

That made me laugh and get all excited at the same time.

Cheers for the link CheekyD, I turned on with 2 minutes until launch, perfect timing.

Loved the Roadster and the Don't Panic!

This was impressive as hell. Insane to watch them land the first two boosters as well.

We're totally going to Mars at some point. It's crazy exciting.

That’s Musk’s dream and I think he may well be the guy to do it.

I think the first human on Mars is a long way off, but I think it’ll be a company that does it, not NASA.
