My point: (Off-Topic)

Two of the top posts on Reddit right now, among many others that are just posts of that picture. It’s supposed to be “fun”, Elon Musk says. I see these pictures and I feel gross. Maybe I’m expecting too much of the public at large, maybe I’m being overly critical of something that is supposed to be fun. All I know is that an amazing event is tainted in my mind by the fact that this is an example of what’s being celebrated, rather than what SpaceX actually accomplished.
Maybe it’s just my cynical side, but I wouldn’t be easily convinced that Elon Musk didn’t put his roadster up there for exactly this purpose.
