After launching the Falcon Heavy, SpaceX now has a live stream for Elon Musk‘s personal Tesla Roadster heading towards Mars. As the Falcon Heavy enters its second stage, the world’s most powerful operational rocket will be taking the Roadster out of Earth’s orbit and into the Red Planet’s hyperbolic orbit.

The video shows the electric car and Starman, a dummy wearing a SpaceX suit floating through space with picturesque views of Earth in the background. It is also interesting to note that the Roadster is the fastest car ever currently traveling 25,200 miles per hour. Despite being pretty outrageous, the Roadster’s space journey is a serious test of SpaceX’s rocket payload capabilities and reveals the American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company’s technological prowess.

Check out the live stream of the Tesla Roadster and Starman in space above and let us know if you’re excited for them to reach Mars whenever that might happen.

In case you missed it, Elon Musk recently sold 20,000 flamethrowers and made $10,000,000 USD for his future-focused The Boring Company.
