Twitter Launches Memes After Elon Musk Sends His Tesla Into Space

On Tuesday, tech pioneer Elon Musk successfully put an end to "1970: I bet we'll have flying cars in future, 2018:" meme by launching his very own Tesla into space.

On Tuesday, SpaceX launched Falcon Heavy, the most powerful rocket in the world, into space.

Tucked into the nose of the mammoth SpaceX unmanned rocket that blasted off Tuesday was Elon Musk's own cherry red convertible Tesla roadster, a vehicle that was in fact manned -- by a spacesuited dummy nicknamed Starman.

The successful launch was followed by Musk sharing a message written inside of Tesla's circuit board that is currently cruising in space.

"Printed on the circuit board of a car in deep space," Musk wrote on his Instagram post.

Tesla will float in deep space on its lonely orbit around the sun, ping-ponging between Earth and Mars, for millions of years, thereby leaving a message for the future civilisations.

The SpaceX CEO later tweeted out a map of the Roadster’s final orbit after the burn, showing how far out the car will travel.

Wonder if Mr Musk slightly misunderstood the ‘how do we launch the new Tesla Roadster’ email?

Born too early to explore the galaxy… but just in time to see this madness.

Hashtag legend.

When you go to bed tonight, remember that somewhere out there, Elon Musk's #Tesla is hauling ass through space at 18,000 MPH blasting David Bowie's Space Oddity into infinity. 🚀
