- On February 6, Elon Musk and SpaceX plan to launch the Falcon Heavy rocket, carrying a Tesla Roadster.
- An animation that SpaceX uploaded to YouTube on Monday shows the ideal sequence of events, all set to music by David Bowie.
- Plenty could go wrong or blow up during the launch, but if things work out, there will eventually be a Tesla Roadster in Mars orbit.
If all goes as planned, there will soon be a midnight cherry "original Tesla Roadster, playing [David Bowie's] Space Oddity, on a billion year elliptic Mars orbit," according to Elon Musk.
A new animation released by SpaceX shows the ideal sequence of events that the company hopes will come to pass with the launch of its Falcon Heavy rocket. The event is scheduled for February 6, between 1:30 and 4:30 p.m. ET.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
