woops I’ve made that mistake more than once in KSP. Too bad you can’t revert this flight to the launch pad. ---

I’ve taken the liberty to make a semi-retro ‘spaceposter’ with a photo that was made at the launch. I hope they will make some real ones at SpaceX because I don’t have the time (and patience) to make one for myself 😉 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/2X/a/a78cadebc438a099aa7509c9e74bbff3de740d53.jpg) ---

It was very… interesting?.. It did seem to suffer a bit from the NMS bug of planetary features not matching the view from low altitude, though. Corporations exploring space in the name of Humanity it’s creepy AF, imo. ---

This is all very interesting and perplexing. The initial 6 hours after launch were supposed to show off maneuvers for the military. Then he said they overshot the orbit. Now it seems Musk is being called out by people who can’t be so easily fooled. Either something is up or someone doesn’t know what they are talking about. 🤔[Where Is Elon Musk's Space Tesla Actually Going? - The Atlantic](https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/02/tesla-elon-musk-mars-spacex-asteroid-belt/552719/) ---
