The reason why he not respond is because his computer broke and might get fixed in 2 weeks or so. Remember that I am a cousin of Chris

EDIT, not his actual image of saturn, but should be coming up

Hi. I hope you all have a great halloween. Mine went wrong, because I had to go to work. :frowning_face:

Well THAT stinks

Fun fact ~ Did you know that in 2018, SpaceX successfully launched a successful flight to carry a Tesla Roadster into space?

Tesla Roadster in Space
On February 6, 2018, SpaceX successfully
test launched C their Falcon Heavy rocket.
The payload for this test was
somewhat unusual: a Tesla Roadster
electric car. SpaceX explained that it
wanted a payload that was “fun and
without irreplaceable sentimental value.”
The Roadster’s current trajectory will bring
it out beyond Mars, demonstrating the
Falcon Heavy’s ability to deliver a payload
into an orbit that can reach the red planet.
SpaceX also successfully landed two of the
Falcon Heavy’s reusable booster engines
as part of the test. However, the central
core crashed during its attempted landing.
Our depiction of the Tesla Roadster C
shows just the car. In reality, the Roadster
is attached to the second stage of the
Falcon Heavy center rocket and is about 4x
the mass. However, the trajectory of the
Roadster will be identical to its real
trajectory because an object’s gravitational
acceleration is not affected by its mass.

Cool!

I took my kids down to Titusville to watch the launch. The twin sonic cracks when the boosters returned was incredible.
