“A starman is waiting in the sky. He would like to come and meet us, ”but he is 37 million miles away and busy Mars.
Alan Musk has been around for almost three years Falcon heavy rocket launched In his own Tesla Roadster variable carrying spacecraft. After David Boy’s song in the driver’s seat, wearing a spacesuit prototype designed by the mask company SpaceX, called “Starman”.

This is a significant step towards NASA and Musk’s personal goal of gathering more information on Mars and ultimately colonizing it.
Getting millions of miles with an artificial Getang doesn’t mean we’re close to getting a human here, but calculating this way is a good sign that we’re on our way.
