Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched the most powerful rocket Falcon Heavy into space on Tuesday (February 6). Interestingly, nearly 50 years ago, NASA send men to the moon from the same launchpad. Musk has always aspired for humans to reach Mars and this is the first step in realising his dream. With that, the SpaceX and Tesla owner made history by also sending a Roadster on the rocket with a SpaceX Starman sitting on the driver’s seat, like he is riding it. People across the world got to watch the surreal experience live as it unfolded and since then, the Internet has been buzzing with memes, congratulatory messages, funny responses and what not! But a quick look through Twitter will show how most people are still finding it unbelievable that Musk actually realised a dream and thus, unlocked an achievement by humans.
