Wants to Go to Space

These were nerve-wracking hours, possibly days, for the entrepreneur and
owner of SpaceX, billionaire Elon Musk. A minute before he launches the

heaviest rocket in the world since the Apollo Program to the moon,

actually three attached rockets as well as one Tesla car as cargo in the
rocket head, the special documentation by National Geographic, which

followed that dramatic day, was revealed today. Fortunately for him,

everything went according to plan; he couldn’t hide the excitement on his
face when the two rockets that were used as boosters, landed

simultaneously back on the ground in reverse and perfectly in sync, which
will enable Musk and SpaceX to reuse them. A moment later, Musk’s

sports car was also released into outer space, in which is a space man

dummy and playing the song Life on Mars by singer David Bowie. And
this song is probably also a hint to Musk’s next mission – sending an even

bigger spaceship, one that would eventually even take people to Mars,

maybe even build a first colony outside Earth there. This obviously, isn’t
going to happen soon.
