THIS IS REAL! It's not a photoshop.

So.... Red really is faster! A blue one would never have achieved escape velocity.

It would be interesting to note what was really done to prep it. Air in the tires, not. Appliances like light bulbs that were never designed to work in zero g. Good marketing though

They have an unused Saturn V lying by the road at the Michoud Plant. A surprise when you don't expect it, which I did not.

Currently enjoying 2001: A Space Odyssey, a fifty year-old movie. I believe NASA (well, space exploration in general) is one of the most important things our governments should be investing in.

Here's to all those kids who wanted to be astronauts.

I was 13 in 69 and remember watching the moon landing. In grade school a TV was always rolled into the classroom so we could watch launches and other space related events. Exciting times.
Then seeing that Tesla in space and watching the boosters land was absolutely amazing.

I don't know what NASA is seeing, but when I go to Kermit's link they offer another link to a sterio-optic view with a GoogleEarth "Streetview" interface. [ https://www.uahirise.org/ESP_052945_2150 ] Maximize the map, grab the little guy on the bottom right and drop him in the middle of that crater

and you will see positive proof of life on Mars.
