1. Some of the comments... wow!

So many are saying it's "fake" and done "on a set," etc, even after such a public launch and landing. This swaggering ignorance is what's wrong with society.

4. Musk is in on the charade...haven't you heard?

They have an answer for everything and their favorite line is that "it is a conspiracy dating back to the first aerial photographs taken 100 years ago". I spoke with one such idiot (who was out walking his pet turtle on a leash) and that was all I needed to hear.

6. Hopefully!

I doubt it though!! …Too bad Elon could not put a couple in the Tesla to Radio back to the rest of them!

5. I know one thing for damn sure...

I just got home traveling from Atlanta to the Cape to watch the launch of SpaceX Falcon Heavy which was fantastic! I was in the USAF & stationed at Vandenberg AFB & got to see plenty of rocket & ICBM test launches! However, I have to admit nothing impressed me as much as those two boosters from the Falcon Heavy coming back to Earth at faster than the speed of sound & they let out 3 HUGE SONIC BOOMS that rattle the ground then refire their rocket motors & come to soft landing in unison as if they choreographed it!!!

...I’ve seen many of those rocket landings on TV but seeing it live & fast they’re traveling & land so smooth it is very impressive!!!

The Tesla in space is CHILD’S PLAY compared to what I witnessed live!!

7. Thank you for the lovely report. Elon Musk (and, really all scientists) is my hero. nt

8. Sure!

It was so cool! And yes I stand in complete awe of what our scientist can do! I’m amazed at how much they know about the natural world/universe we live in & even more at how they manages to figure some of the answers out! Like you said & I could not agree more scientist & great minds like Elon Musk who not only want to make profit but change the world in a positive way in process!

...This is why I truly despise the GOP who not only cater to the scientifically illiterate but lead the way in attacking science on many fronts!
