Thought that this might be fun to watch over time. A tracking site (not affiliated with Elon Musk) has been launched (no pun intended) to follow Starman and his roadster on their journey. Whereisroadster.com Meowroadster. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Wow I need to get one. A car that can go 7,548 mph is out of this world. (pun intended) |

The speed toward Mars is 43,075 mph. It's straight line speed is 70,579 mph. I would hate to get pulled over at that speed. |
