Sports car Tesla Roadster by Elon Musk is all set to hit Mars. Most of us consider that Elon Musk, must be kidding when he said that he will be sending his Roadster (red sports car) to Mars on SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy Rocket.
Well to inform you and you will get shock after hearing that he wasn’t kidding at all. Within weeks after that declaration, Elon Musk has revealed photos on his Instagram account of the car being ready for launch at SpaceX headquarters.
After revelation of images now it is clear cut this is going to be the official inaugural flight of the Falcon Heavy, a rocket that SpaceX has been setting up for years.
This rocket is successor to the Falcon 9, pooled with 3 boosters strapped jointly, all of which will put in sufficient push to make it the most dominant and powerful rocket in the world.

Now, Falcon Heavy is ready to be launched in January, from the same old launch pad of Apollo 11.
Falcon Heavy is getting prepared at Cape Canaveral for its final pre-launch tests. It is being freight up with a Tesla Roadster. In an Instagram post Elon Musk said, that typically test flights of new-fangled rockets take mass simulators in the shape of steel blocks or concrete. But he thinks these items are really boring so he decided to place an excitement factor in it, as he says,
“Of course, anything boring is terrible, especially companies, so we decided to send something unusual, something that made us feel. The payload will be an original Tesla Roadster.”
No doubt it would be very interesting that a rocket will carry payload of an original Tesla Roadster, playing Space oddity, on a billion year elliptic Mars orbit.
All this shows that Musk is a man of words. He does what he says. No matter it’s about winning a bet by making world’s largest battery in 60 days or a strange plan of sending Roadster to the Mars’ orbit. Musk is on the apex of everything.
Very soon the world will be witnessing his “midnight cherry Tesla Roadster playing Space Oddity” song in deep space for a billion years. Isn’t interesting?
