[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 3326876, member: 3371"] The OP is about the first launch of the Falcon Heavy lift vehicle. First launches of a new rocket are always somewhat risky and you can't expect paying customers to take a chance with their precious cargo on an unproven launch system. The usual practice would be to demonstrate the capabilities of the new rocket by heaving an expendable throw weight a designated distance and speed. In this case Musk grabbed the opportunity to launch his older model Tesla into an elliptical orbit, that is nearly eternal, in the vicinity of Mars. By doing so he captured an iconic photo... [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1a/Elon_Musk%27s_Tesla_Roadster_%2840110297852%29.jpg[/IMG] That STEM students all over the world can pin on their dorm walls right next to their iconic einstein photo.

As a photographer you must appreciate that pic. [/QUOTE]
