As the sun breaks above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still

His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze
Fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun

On your wings like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Look the old man in his eyes

As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I fly
His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream

Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings burn to ashes to ashes his grave
Fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your wings like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun

I thought the only reason it's in a parking orbit for 6 hours is because they're waiting for the correct moment to make the trans-Mars injection.

Then he should have sent a cinderblock, and not a perfectly functioning car. Even if it's only a tenth of a percent of the cost of the launch, the production of that car used rare earth elements that are in short supply, energy, and perhaps most of all, people's time and effort. A chunk of concrete would have accomplished all the same practical goals with a fraction of the energy and resources, and would have been easier to sterilize because of its non-porosity.

I work at Tesla and we watched this on a live stream today. I teared up a bit because even though Spacex did all the work, everyone around me was cheering and wooping every time the roadster came into view.

You should hate him for his government handouts to which the taxpayers have no say. As for the payload as many other people I've said this is a test flight and they normally would use concrete or plain steel and its place, so you're missing the point here for why you should hate him. But if I have to spell it out for you maybe critical thinking isn't your Forte.

You dumb fuck its an unproven rocket on a test flight, the dummy payload or mass simulator was either going to be a boring inert block of concrete or a fucking Tesla roadster, last time Space X did a cheese wheel, at least this time the roadster has cameras all over it giving us great space porn views.

Well that would imply that they actually want the common man to benefit from anything they are doing. The fact is technology is far more advanced than anything that we have seen, with the Pentagon UFO black budget projects coming to light they probably have technology that could revolutionize the entire world and eliminate . Many different problems that eventually lead to human suffering and death. Yet everyone starts drooling at the mouth when they see the flavor of the month billionaire playing with his toys. So yeah, this is just another side show circus while everyone forgets that 1% of the population is essentially holding everyone else in a playpen and poking us with sticks while showing us cool videos. But hey Elon Musk he's a cool guy right up vote please.
