Description
Starman in Tesla Roadster in space.
On February 6th 2018, Elon Musk successfully launched the Space-X Falcon Heavy Test Flight.
Usually in a test flight such as this NASA would put a dummy payload for weight in the rocket. Elon Musk wanted to make it less boring so he put his own Tesla Roadster in the Rocket instead.
The history making launch is the most powerful rocket (by two times) that exists today. It was a tremendous success even though only two of the 3 boosters came back to earth and successfully landed. The third (middle booster) was supposed to land on an unmanned barge at sea but instead entered the water at 300 mph. Still, it was an amazing accomplishment and is the beginning of a kind of new pioneering age for space flight.
The rocket will go into an elliptical orbit around the sun and eventually pass by Mars several times which is of interest because of the plans to send astronauts there in the near future.
All that was a lead up to why I'm posting this image.
I did a couple of screen grabs from one of the videos of the launch and payload. A dummy astronaut (They're calling "Starman", in a space suit) is behind the wheel of the Tesla Roadster leaving the confines of earth. You can't see it in my screen capture but there's also a miniature Starman in a Tesla roadster on the dashboard. lol. You gotta love Elon Musk. :) If you missed the launch 2-6-18 or news of it, there's videos on Youtube which is where I gathered the info above.
Although I didn't notice any stars in the video, I decided to add some subtle stars in my conversion.
Viewing a 3D stereo crossview format, is similar to the old "Magic Eye" images if you're familiar with viewing those. With the 3D stereo crossview, make sure the entire side-by-side image is within view. Then gently converge (cross) your eyes and focus on the middle image that appears while ignoring the outside.
Not everyone is successful with this free-viewing method but if you are, it becomes easier each time and eventually second nature.
