Space: The final frontier
These are the voyages of the Starship, Enterprise
Its 5 year mission
To explore strange new worlds
To seek out new life and new civilizations
To boldly go where no man has gone before
Actually, this short article is about the successful launch of the inaugural flight of the Falcon Heavy.
I planned to use a picture from the Star Trek: The Next Generation, the television series that kept me dreaming during my teenage years.
But Elon Musk decided to take this to the next level, using his personal Tesla Roadster instead of a standard dummy payload... And he was not only sending his Tesla to space, but he sent a Tesla to space in style: with David Bowie playing Space Oddity on the radio, a SpaceX suit-wearing dummy in the driver's seat named Starman, a "Don't Panic" note on the dashboard screen (a catchphrase from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), and everything on live steaming on youtube.
Not much to add to it, everything else is on the main page of all the media in the world. It is a special moment in the history of space exploration, building the foundation of the colonization of Mars!
