·If I were Musk:
1. Buy all Speedmaster Alaska LE’s on market during planning phase (maybe 3 years)
2. Strap the worst condition, no box or papers one to the spaceman’s wrist, on the outside of the suit
3. Sell all but one of the Alaska LE’s for double (more?)

He pretty much did that.. but instead of selling watches he is selling cars. Can you imagine what the price of tesla roadsters will be now?!

Well technically it's the fourth electric roadster in space ... the Apollo 15, 16 & 17 crew had an open top roadster on the Moon !!!!!!!!

·Love this - glued to the story but won't it become a short story once it hits the asteroid belt?

·A passage through the asteroids belt is no problem... all asteroids in the belt between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter (including Minor planet Vesta) taken together couldn't form the Moon... so it's mainly empty space and that's why spacecraft (Pioneer 10 & 11, Voyager I & II, Cassini, New horizons, Juno, etc...) had no problem passing through the asteroids belt ! 😁

·Figured everyone here would enjoy this different perspective of the side boosters landing that I came across on YouTube:

This is a really great view of the return of the boosters as well and a great perspective of how far space flight has come. If you follow the service road in the video the concrete structure you see in the center of the video is launch pad 34 the sight of the Apollo 1 fire.

·I loved Musk’s response to skeptics questions about the final picture of Starman.
“And you can tell it’s real because it looks so fake, honestly.”

·Perhaps, just perhaps, there will be a whole "it was staged", "it was faked", "it never happened" movement focused on this image/event just as there is with the lunar landing?
It's just my convoluted way of thinking...and too much free time on my hands.
Have fun
