Pretty cool... finally dug out the headphones for this... the ROAR of launch, and the sonic BOOM BOOM BOOM of landings...
Still visible... VIDEO - "images were captured by Tenagra Observatories in Arizona" - "Masi and Schwartz were able to pinpoint the the car's location by using data generated by the Solar Systems Dynamics Laboratory at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)"

"For a short time, this New Horizons Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) frame of the "Wishing Well" star cluster, taken Dec. 5, 2017, was the farthest image ever made by a spacecraft, breaking a 27-year record set by Voyager 1. About two hours later, New Horizons later broke the record again. Credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Southwest Research Institute"
"On Dec. 9 it carried out the most-distant course-correction maneuver ever, as the mission team guided the spacecraft toward a close encounter with a KBO named 2014 MU69 on Jan. 1, 2019"

A quick rundown on the BFR which will be here before you know it - "a monster that SpaceX CEO and founder Elon Musk hopes will take humans to Mars" - "The ship's payload bay, where people and cargo go, will be eight storeys tall"
"The first one is now under construction"
"The ship will have cabins, a galley and an entertainment area"

Final photo - "Farewell, Starman. We hardly knew you."
Don't miss the short VIDEOs - "the most epic views to the rocking tunes of musician Joe Satriani in our videos shown here"

New automobile speed and distance records coming up - Lift off tomorrow Tues (Feb. 6) at 1:30 p.m. EST (1830 GMT) from Kennedy Space Center in Florida -
"In a series of Instagram photos captioned "Starman in a Red Roadster," Musk debuted a dummy wearing an official SpaceX spacesuit, buckled up and apparently ready to blast off on a mission to Mars." -- "the Tesla Roadster will head to Mars, playing David Bowie's "Space Oddity" on full blast the whole way there. Keeping with the Bowie-inspired theme to this mission, Musk nicknamed the dummy "Starman" after Bowie's 1972 hit"

Planets, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away - in this case 3.8 billion light years, discovered via Gravitational Microlensing. Thanks, Einstein. Again.

A Roadster to Mars on a Falcon Heavy -- 2.5-hour window Tuesday starting 1:30PM Eastern on February 6th --
How many headlines can one launch have??
- "the Heavy with its three boosters and 27 engines will be the most powerful working rocket out there today, by a factor of two"
- "5 million pounds of liftoff thrust"
- "a Heavy could lift a 737 into orbit, passengers, luggage and all"...
- "the rocket will carry up Musk's cherry-red Tesla Roadster"
- "Red car for a red planet," Musk tweeted in December
- "attempt to recover all three boosters" Hopefully split screen
- "the rocket might not make it higher than the launch tower"
