    Seems to be a lot of duplication after 5 minutes.

    I believe it's still attached to the upper stage, you can occasionally see it on the "live" feed. It's not going to Mars as it will overshoot, I don't think there is any propulsion still available so it will follow it's current trajectory and get steered by various gravitational forces, if it survives for a few million years it will eventually end up impacting the sun.

    To go even further off topic, if it did leave our system and head to some populated alien world it would baffle their best, or if it was long forgotten and returned to the earth in a few thousand years it would be a mega WTF moment!

    For me, the actual launch is a mega WTF moment!

    Hesitated to post it for that reason but when you look on a bigger screen, you see people getting out of those first 2 cars.

    Their cars died, that's for sure.

    Yeah cars were toast...

    I would have banged it in reverse and got out of there not jump out into the flames though

    I don't like too much chit chat/arguing, I prefare to binge on a load of video's at once.
    but sometimes I do like when a video is being talked about.
    i'm a learner and I can't always tell what has happened, or why a certain person was in the wrong..

    I didnt notice at first, but the person in the blue car did eventually end up getting out of the car. then they ran back over to it to get another person out. so they definitely got away at least

    Looking at the way the first car pulled over and exploded I'd say their engine had already stalled out.

    It was merely a 'fun' payload to launch up there.

    NASA normally just launch a block of concrete so Tesla wanted to do something different.

    Exactly, as it was a 1st test for the Falcon Heavy, it had to carry a payload, to prove it could carry into orbit what they'll say it can carry into orbit.

    No one would want their very expensive satellite sitting atop of a new untested launch vehicle where the potential for failure could be greater. So why not send up a car, it's probably the greatest product placement ad in the history of the universe up to now! (Until Musk puts the Tesla logo onto the moon!!)

    This happened an Italian friend of mine at the lights in Palmerstown last year.

    When turning right on to the bypass they saw 2 lanes and went to left lane not realising the road was a dual carriageway.

    Have seen this three times recently at Ballymount M50 entrance, people coming off the southbound sliproad and turning right to go towards Tallaght then sailing down the wrong side of the island towards traffic.

    Two were foreign regs and one UK.

    Poor road signs and design plus better paint on the road could help such as directional arrows after the white stop lines so people turning will see them.

    How about just "paint"! It's appalling how paint on roads is never maintained in this country. They wait till it's completely faded before deciding to repaint. Even when they put a new patch down, they paint the lines on only that patch and don't continue....surely if they've gone to the bother of getting the lads out, why not do the rest of the road. The mind boggles!

    I heard that three cars in total went off road today because of the ice on road between Clonboo and Galway. This is just a quick look at aftermath of one of the accidents. Better seen on full screen and full hd. On the left about 5 sec in.
