@Carlos
I can hear the music and see the scene from "Heavy Metal". Wonder what the Roadster's reentry characteristics are and if there is a parachute in the back.

My understanding is that Elon set this on a Mars crossing trajectory to prove we can make it to Mars.

"Elon Musk tweeted that the vehicle's trajectory had "exceeded Mars orbit and kept going to the Asteroid Belt.""

Another day, another fake "support animal" denied boring on a plane....
Woman Claims Airline Told Her To Flush Emotional Support Hamster Down Toilet
The college student says she flushed the hamster because Spirit Airlines wouldn’t let the animal on board.
A Miami college student is considering legal action against Spirit Airlines after she says an employee wouldn’t let her on a flight until she flushed her emotional support hamster down an airport toilet.

Belen Aldecosea said the incident occurred when she was at the Baltimore–Washington International Airport on Nov. 21, 2017, getting ready to fly home from school with Pebbles, a dwarf hamster who serves as her “emotional comfort animal.”

.... “It was horrifying trying to put her in the toilet,” Aldecosea said. “I was emotional. I was crying. I sat there for a good 10 minutes crying in the stall.”

Aldecosea said she is considering filing a lawsuit against Spirit Airlines for giving her conflicting instructions that she said pressured her into the decision.

I got caught in a hailstorm like that once. It really dented the heck out of my car. I had also just helped a friend put in several hundred strawberry plants on his farm. Needless to say, we were a little upset about the hail.

Maybe they should of tried playing the lottery instead ;)
Couple who sold everything to sail around the world lost it all when their boat sank after just two days at sea
Tanner Broadwell, 26, and Nikki Walsh, 24, have just £60 left after their vessel they had used all their funds to buy capsized at sea off the coast of Florida
Tanner Broadwell, 26, and Nikki Walsh, 24, from Colorado, sold everything they had to buy the vessel that would given them an adventure they would never forget.

But it became immemorable for the wrong reasons when their craft tipped over off the coast of Florida when it struck a foreign object.

They lost everything in just 20 minutes when the houseboat sank along John's Pass, near Tampa, after the keel had been ripped from the base of the boat.

Tanner and Nikki were forced to jump overboard and were left with just $90 to their name as well as their two-year-old Pug named Remy.

True Stories From A Former Car Dealer: God Land
What happens when a UFO-based religious group goes car shopping? We can hardly wait to find out in this installment of True Stories From a Former Car Dealer.

... They wanted 23 new Ford Contours and Escorts (both really slow sellers for us at the time) and they needed two Tauruses for the leader and his prodigy. The kicker: they all had to be white because white was pure.

... Mr. Chen and his followers all moved from Taiwan to Garland, Texas because Garland sounded the most like God Land. He believed he had fathered Jesus Christ over 2000 years earlier. He was convinced God was returning to earth in a flying saucer and the world would end at midnight on March 31, 1998.

He said a week earlier, on March 24th, God would speak non-stop to people on channel 18 all over America. To prepare for the flying saucer arrival, the group built a landing pad in their backyard. It was made of tires, plywood, and some lampposts. This panicked many of the group’s neighbors, who called the police, but there was nothing they could do, no laws were broken.

Wow. If that story isn't 25 times more of a tear-jerker than Elon Musk's Tesla's Space Odyssey, I don't know what is. A story only surpassed, perhaps, by the image of the group's remaining members who, left to their own devices, slowly dissolved in a New York sunset...

This screen shot appears to have been doctored as apparently it hasn't been posted (going many weeks back) on that facebook page for soulless pre-teens.

Surely it would appear on Eric's Facebook page, not the one you linked to.

It might indeed have been posted by this account but doent appear in public posts. If it has been posted by Eric himself or a family member (a possibility - or a fake account?), it might then be plausible (and not a doctored photo). The mystery deepens. Bad taste or prank, without the original URL, I'll let this small mystery dissipate.

It's him. It's from one of those quiz sites Like "Which Disney princess are you" or "How smart are you."

Oh I had to share this:
