‘perfect condition’ according to someone that has half their instrument cluster covered by a picture.

I’d send a Volkswagen Beetle. Here’s my argument- no aliens have ever managed to contact us, so we should send a vehicle that matches our values, technical skills, and abilities, all without letting aliens know we are too advanced. A VW Beetle would be clearly mass produced, showing both that we were relatively large…

We give the aliens communism. The alien society self-destructs before they can conquer us.

Turnabout’s fair play, space creatures!

I was floored by that - hugely impressive!

True. And the Mercury and Saturn dealers have closed.

That booster landing was incredible. I don’t know why it was incredible, but my mind said “incredible”, but in french!!!

Aliens “what about a battery pack adds lightness? Who ruined this lotus”

Warning : odometer discrepancy. Beyond mechanical limits.

I’m seeing a big nod to Heavy Metal too...

Meanwhile, a billion years in the future...

GIF of the year right here. Damn that was an amazing moment.

The sight of the two side boosters landing in sync was the most amazing part of an end-to-end amazing launch.

At rougly $100M per launch and the fact the roadster will be in heliocentric orbit for BILLIONS of years, we’re about to witness the most expensive and longest running private company advertisement in human existence.

99.9% of Jalopnik’s staff is too young to remember Heavy Metal... Or the VHS tapes it came on.

Sorry Elon, it’s been done..

It must be interesting to be in charge of installing a device that will cause a violent crash when the result of not causing one would be worse.

Well the one with the Congressional train was someone stuck on the tracks or crossing that was hit... I don’t think the train is to blame on that one.

This incident aside- statistically speaking, train travel is still safer than jumping off a cliff

They do seem a little off track.
