This cosmic takedown has gone interstellar again and it’s sheer perfection
It started with Elon Musk but it didn’t end there, thank goodness.
It’s a rather fabulous takedown which has just gone viral again on Reddit after Musk said his car – blasted into space on the back of a SpaceX rocket back in 2018 – was currently in orbit around Mars.
Astronomer Jonathan McDowell had something to say about that, and it gets better and better.
Cosmic.
Just in case you wanted to know a little bit more about this Johannes Kepler chap …
And here are our favourite things people said about it.
‘He updated his bio: “orbital police.”
DoYouEverJustInvert‘Jonathan is a funny guy, I’ve met him a few times. I always love seeing his casual snark to Elon.’
big_brotherx101‘This is like the movie line scene in Annie Hall.’
Otherwise_Study‘I love when actual smart people, scientists, engineers, astrophysicists, coders etc… dunk on born rich, vapid simpletons like Elon Musk.’
GushGirlOC‘Technically my car is also orbiting the sun.’
