Space Heavy test launch next month will try to reach Mars with Elon Musk’s personal Tesla Roadster.
Payload will be my midnight cherry Tesla Roadster playing Space Oddity. Destination is Mars orbit. Will be in deep space for a billion years or so if it doesn’t blow up on ascent.

Falcon Heavy to launch next month from Apollo 11 pad at the Cape. Will have double thrust of next largest rocket. Guaranteed to be exciting, one way or another.

It’s an amusing stunt, and still a valid test.
The comment system didn’t work the first few times I tried it, then just started working. So, what happened to our rankings? Years of comment history? (Not that I typically go back and read that often.) Italics Bold Underlined
Brilliant idea to talk about Tesla Roadster on a test flight of the falcon heavy. Millions of people will now be thinking about Tesla cars. This advertising is worth as much or more that the cost of the rocket!!
Yo … Man o’ Galt, NewtonPulsifier, DoctorPat, old gang… take a cup of Patience, and try out the new comment system. Its a little slow (after the “OK, run with it” button), but seems reliable. It also support angle-bracket conventions for Bold, Italic and Underline as this demonstrates.

LOL – Its a lovely statement-test. “I’m so bloody rich that I can throw the first launch to include my favorite company made car”. Hey – I like it. Gen-X and Gen-Y and Hipsters and Lipsyncers and Millennials and so on love it.
I hope it goes as planned.
A Great Big Flaming Rocket is a good thing.
Let’s see if the new comment system supports:
[b]Bold[/b] or [i]Italic[/i] or [u]Underline[/u] so far… Hello? Development?

Ah… it looks like angle brackets are the tag now. Wasn’t working yesterday. Good work, Development!
