To The Moon Alice and then to a Mars Attack

To the moon Alice and then on to a Mars Attack. We all think in terms of iconic TV shows like the Honeymooners where Ralph was always telling his wife Alice that he wanted to send her to the moon and odd movies like Mars Attack directed by Tim Burton. But if you are a rich inventor and entrepreneur as Elon Musk is, the creator of his Tesla cars, you can spend $90 million dollars on your next dream.  He did just that and it was successful and ground breaking.

A new American rocket not built by NASA American’s space program but by entrepreneur Elon Musk was successfully launched into space on its way to Mars letting loose unique cargo into space. Yes space trash. One of his Tesla cars fully equipped with music and a crash dummy will now be orbiting the planets for a billion years. We already trashed the earth with too much garbage so why not put stupid things out in the pure unblemished outer space too? Sigh! Humans!

We can’t trash Elon Musk too much for his crazy expensive idea because we all benefited from the publishing billionaire Howard Hughes when he promoted his hobby of getting commercial air travel off the ground and now we all take planes anywhere and everywhere on earth. Elon is just the newest billionaire with a dream to start a colony of new frontier people in the wild west of Mars. He calls this the Falcon Flight. His space program called Space X successfully launched the largest space ship EVER in earthly history.

The mission is to have people carried to the moon and then go on to Mars. Like a stopover on your flight somewhere. The world’s most powerful rocket was launched at America’s space ship launching site, Cape  Canaveral in Florida. It is the same launch pad that America sent its man to the moon many years ago. This massive space ship has three rockets strapped together. The project included something very new. The rocket launchers are recyclable and are equipped with their own engines and return to the launching site intact that landed back to earth with pin point accuracy. Well, two out of the three did anyway. They can’t find the third one. So be careful just in case a rocket launcher falls on your head. Sigh!

Musk’s cruiser from his car company called Tesla was let out into space over earth playing David Bowie’s song called Life On Mars with a message on the dashboard that said DON’T PANIC. The dummy in the driver’s seat is called Star Man. No Joke.

The big rocket means that now much heavier cargo and  satellites  can be carried into space. With its reusability, Space X has a big advantage over its competitors who are rushing to get people on Mars. Most said that there was only a 50-50 chance of the unusual project working are now saying that it was an immense success. There is a photo showing the view from Space X Launch Control showing that apparently there is a car in orbit around the earth with our beautiful unique blue planet in the background of the photo.

The launch was the most spectacular thing to happen at Kennedy Space Center in years.
