Michael, thanks for your comment. Musk is one of those rare figures who seems to have an insatiable appetite to learn, to try and to explore. I admire his initiative and can’t wait to see the next chapter in his life. The Tesla PR stunt/gimmick/event is out of this world genius.

I’ve been chuckling ever since Musk announced he was putting his Roadster on top of the rocket. The pre-launch publicity was priceless. And the rocket did not blow up, which meant that the Roadster and its dummy could be photographed with cameras placed around the car. And here it is, folks, drifting past Earth, then leaving Earth in background. If it’s possible, those scenes in space were even more priceless. If Musk had done nothing else in the way of promoting Tesla, this stunt alone would have made everybody on this rock aware of the car. I have a huge amount of respect for that guy. And I plan to get a Model 3. 🙂
