The Funniest Memes About The ‘Car Launched Into Space’ That Have Us Chuckling

It was a historical moment for our planet on 6th February 2018, as SpaceX CEO and founder Elon Musk successfully launched his SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket – and with it, sent a cherry red convertible Tesla Roadster orbiting through space.

And so, Tuesday evening was spent by earthlings around the world marvelling at the space-suited dummy nicknamed ‘Starman’ behind the wheel of the Roadster. 

As David Bowie’s Life on Mars played on the stereo during the SpaceX live stream launch, everyone received a spectacular view of the Earth and moon from a distance from the car, and it really was the most spectacular sight to behold! The video, titled ‘Live Views of Starman’ has already garnered over 12 million views as of today!

While this journey speaks volumes about how far we’ve come with technology, the sight of a bright red Tesla convertible being chucked into space and casually chilling in the Earth’s neighbourhood obviously had a lot of netizens bursting to come forth with a wave of memes. And boy, did they deliver!
