I guess I'll be the bummer.
What SpaceX is doing is really exciting, and ultimately very good.
Elon Musk using SpaceX to put a giant Tesla billboard in orbit around Mars in the form of that stupid roadster is a real fucking bummer to me. Sure, let's put some garbage in orbit around Mars, that's a cool thing to do.
You're right. A pallet of concrete blocks would have been way more exciting.The hell is wrong with you?
In some sense it DOES seem like a waste. They could have put something into orbit that does actual science. It's their money and they can do what they want, but if you're putting something into orbit maybe it should be doing something useful. I get that the launch itself provided useful data, so in that sense I don't really care. But a craft with scientific instruments will do more floating around than a car.
