What is he thinking about in this exact moment?

>>9495352
he thinks his spaceship knows which way to go

moments away from having the full earth in frame!

also, the cameras recording are custom-made space-specific RED Gemini S35 5K(!) 30.72mm x 18mm cameras.

They're downloading the full res as the compressed stuff streams.

Should be quite the video when they release the raw 5k 12hr long space opus...

The First Human to go to Mars is going to be a dummy driving an electric car. Fucking AMAZING!

>>9495352
Nothing. He's a dummy.

>>9495373
>first human

>>9495343
No, I fucking hate Elongated Muskrat.

Yes

>>9495343
you are conflating science and engineering my dude

>>9495343
We finally have our defining meme.

>>9495368
Thank You, Anon!

when will it B00ST?

>>9495418

STARMAN FOR FEBRUARY 2018 MEME OF THE MONTH!!!

Is this really how long it takes for satellites heading for Mars to accelerate?

UPDATE ON POLLING!

>Yes -
> No -

>>9495442

They haven't done the last burn yet.

>>9495462
when will it B00ST ?

>>9495490

~1 hour or so

>>9495497
I hear about 30mins

Absolutely....YES!

>>9495442
One of the spook agencies, like No Such Agency, wanted them to demonstrate something in parking orbit so thats why they are in parking orbit longer than usual.

>>9495379
that's correct, he's a known conservative

maybe it can be a player for /sci/ in the 4CC

what the fuck was the point of that? they couldn't find a better payload to send? jesus what a waste.

>>9495343
>implying brain Wojack isn't already the official mascot

>>9495343
official mascot of reddit

>>9495978
Well, if you think about it, it's a brilliant marketing move for Elon. The car he sent to Mars is a car available for purchase from his own company. I imagine there'll be a bunch of guys buying that shit because they can brag that the car they're riding in was the same one that went to space.

Also its cool.

>>9495927
NRO does shit in space, don't know what the NSA would be doing there
>>9496026
that model Roadster is no longer available

Yes. Memes aside, Elon Musk is a visionary who will be remembered well in history books for hundreds of years, and this is such a historymaking image that it deserves to be the new mascot.

>>9495978
>better payload
like a giant block of concrete?

>>9496030
My bad, it wasn't one of the spook agencies, it was just the Chair Force
>was initially placed in Earth parking orbit, still attached to the Falcon Heavy second stage. After a longer-than-usual six-hour coast phase through the Van Allen radiation belt (thereby demonstrating a new capability requested by the U.S. Air Force for direct GEO insertion of heavy intelligence satellites), the second stage reignited for the Earth-escape trajectory

>>9495978
Go back to reading your dork books you fuckin nerd.

>>9496042
I was thinking more like the frozen viscera slurry of people who bitched about the payload and tried to virtue signal about it.

>>9495343
I like it.

Starman burning out his fuse up there alone

What kind of effect will the Sun and solar radiation have on the car and Starman?

>>9496082
He's a rocketman

ROCKETMAN

>>9496085
as soon as it got outside of Earth's magnetosphere it started receiving more radiation
at the very least it'll fade the paint

>Starman

>>9495358
Here am I sitting in a Tesla
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Where are the Flat Earthers to debunk the round Earth in the footage? Kek

>>9496212
they never said the flat earth is square though... maybe is just a round flat earth... dont confuse round with spherical

>>9496242
Except that if the Earth were a flat disk like flattards claim you'd be able to see all the continents at once, and because you'd see all the surface area at once it would appear much much larger

>>9496212
They're just claiming it's CG, like they usually do when shown evidence they can't explain otherwise.

>>9496086
A ROCK... IT MAN

>>9496331
What's interesting is that the technology to fake things like the moon landings and early space stations didn't actually exist. Then when you bring up things like footage of astronauts doing motions which would be impossible with pulleys inside Skylab, which is too big to be a microgravity jet, they resort to creationist-tier levels of cognitive dissonance.

"Don't panic."

for heer am i sitin on a tin car
faaaar abov the wolrd
planent erth is blu
and there nothin i can doo

>>9495978
>hurr durr let's use a super expensive satellite as the payload in a test launch, surely that makes sense
shut the fuck up

>>9496841
The boy who got it rite

>>9495373
that thing will maybe arrive to mars in a couple of million years you retard

>>9496062
>virtue signal
what is this virgin concept, i get laid i do not know it, please explain it to me and i may share the knowledge of how to interact with the opposite sex

No, fucking KYS muskfaggot

based STARMAN is new god

>>9495367
5K footage when?

>>9499454
perhaps never. SpaceX posted the whole stream on their YT page, but it's just 1080p.

they might be saving it for something special, same with the juiciest of landing / crashing footage

>Starman
/sci/ has spoken

>>9495343

No fuck off we already have Kurisu

>>9495490
anyone else see the luchador mask in the key fob

>>9495367
I'll save up on tissue for when I cum watching it

>>9496026
I'd buy one if I had the money

>>9495343
Yes

>>9495343

Yes.

No because Tesla is a hack

>>9495367
Holy fuckkk I ALREADY had a screengrab from the compressed stream as my wallpaper. This is gonna be glorious.

>>9495343
no

Yes

And Kurisu is the /sci/ official waifu

Post your Starman memes

>>9505752
*Photoshops ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>9505755

>>9495343
No, because he's incredible mainstream and already the figure all the "I fucking love science" guys identify with. Too bad that it is that way, given Ol Musky is a good guy, but it is.
