Hohmann, Starman, and Elon Musk

For a moment, let us stand back and take a deep breath.

AWE

Look up into the night sky tonight. (Bundle up it's very cold.)
Appreciate the timeless beauty. (Man that starlight's really old.)
Be grateful for the giants of engineering who went before us. (The rocket men were mad as hatters.)
Those who gave us a stair way to heaven. (They got it done that that's what matters.)

Starman rides his roadsters around the Hohmann orbit, circling the sun is class. Some day one can imagine astronauts taking selfies against the asteroid dust pitted body of the roadster.

Cheers Elon Musk. 


Seriously, think about that. There is a roadster circling the sun! 

Oh, and according to space.com it will circle close enough to Earth to be seen by private telescopes
