Surreal, absurd, outlandish, preposterous... But there it is. The entire earth clearly reflected off the side of a car. [1920x1080]

There is also apparently a Hot Wheels Tesla car on the dashboard as well; at least that's what Elon mentioned.

"If you look on the dashboard, there's a tiny Roadster with a tiny space man," Musk said, referring to a small Hot Wheels version of the Roadster mounted on the dash. "It's kind of silly and fun but I think that silly and fun things are important... I think the imagery is something that's going to get people excited around the world. It's still trippin' me out. I'm trippin' balls here."

I will be watching these videos for awhile. Playbacks of the live feed from the Tesla, the 10 minute launch/landing and the Space X animated video where they animate what happened (minus losing the core).

The crowd reaction is one of the best parts of these videos. Just watching the celebration(s) helps me forget all of the toxic news we've been succumbed to as we watch history and space advancements being made. I'm looking forward to the next Falcon Heavy launch where all three rockets successfully land.
