And to be honest, we were quite impressed as well.
But, right, let’s not get too carried away.
REMINDER: @NASA sent a car into space in 1969.
Then it landed. On the moon.
Then it drove around. On the moon.#JustSayin https://t.co/Hg6RhkcKAQ

(Sonic) boom!
Which reminds us of our favourite moon landing conspiracy.
Stanley Kubrick was hired to fake the moon landing, but his perfectionism made them film it on location on the moon.

Terrible day. Parked my red Tesla convertible outside Cape Canaveral Space Center and I’m pretty sure it’s been towed.

"Mr musk we would like to use your fortune to help humanity"
*Elon Musk presses a button on his desk* "Just fired a boat into space"
"Please Mr Musk"
*presses button* "Now a banana"
"People are dying"

Went out drinking with Elon Musk last night and now I can’t remember where I left my car.
