That thing inside Elon, that thing that whispered in his ear and pulled at his heart that drove him to build Tesla, SpaceX; those same exact neurons, or that karmic energy, or spirit, or demon; that insatiable lust and yearning, the ego and hubris to believe it could all even be possible; the fuck-all attitude which gave him the courage to try...

[The Greeks called it “Ate” (pronounced ay-tee) ~ the point between Hubris and Nemesis.]

The swirling vortex which is Elon had no choice but to strap his black cherry red Roadster onto the biggest rocket we’ve seen in a generation, and on its inaugural flight, send it to fucking Mars.

God speed Elon.

This is a juvenile BS move that will infest another planet...one that humans have never walked on...with this rich kids car.

With a rich kids car.

I think it's just a hohmann transfer to Mars to test the booster, but they're not actually crashing the car on there.

First car on another planet. (yes i know we put a buggy on the moon, but that's not a planet)

Nuclear Weapons on another planet.

I'd rather see the car get there first.

Which planet is that? This will either explode on launch or orbit the sun for a billion years before burning up
