This event is not being given its due. It is probably the most amazing thing I have seen since the moon landing.

Shouldn't the background music to the flying car be "Radar Rider"?

I appreciated the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference, too.

There are going to be parodies and references to this all over the place. I can see this being in Guardians of the Galaxy III.

I love NASA and the fact that their track record is so good (because of their testing and due diligence for safety) proves that they are still at the forefront of the space programs. However, there are some new cowboys in town and they have the financial backing to support their risk taking egos.
You don't think it's government subsidies that are fueling Space X?

What did I miss that makes it so special?
Biggest ever? Nope
Largest payload capacity? Nope
The technology to launch a rocket that size has been around for 50 years
Landing the boosters is a neat trick

There is also a disk on board the automobile with the entire Isaac Asimov Foundations series of books.

Using the JPL ephemeris, the closest predicted approach to Mars between now and 2030 is 7 million km on 2020 Oct 8. This is still well outside Mars' gravitational sphere of influence

Based on the new data, it is going to miss the asteroid belt
