Spacex launched "Falcon Heavy" in space and put in orbit a real car Tesla

Space creates and excites the coveties of some investors, who see it among other things, otherwise the development of a new form of "tourism" by weightlessness, further, the possibility of exploiting the mining resources of the asteroids, since That we know that all that exists in our solar system contains the same components as on our good old Earth.
The offensive commercial conquest of space has already begun ...

Each found it on Tuesday, February 6, when Spacex, dear to ELON MUSK billionaire, also CEO of Tesla, impeccably launched its "Falcon Heavy", ultra-powerful rocket, capable of putting orbit nearly 64 tons, either a bigger mass than that of a Boeing 737 with its passengers, its crew, their luggage and its fuel, except that this time it has put in a sus-orbital position a real Tesla car and a fictional driver , with musical background, an air of David Bowie!

The vehicle thus turns tirelessly around the earth, and the Space X team felt that it could turn for a billion years, even more, even with a tiny possibility of being a day attracted by the red planet, March and shattering there.

"Utopia", we have said such an operation there is only one or two years ago! But this billionaire and its society have succeeded a sacred "tour de force", on four points:

    use of the most powerful "launcher" of all time;
    the heaviest load charge of all times and its high orbit;
    Return impeccable on earth, and on their "feet", boosters.

In doing so, the operation ridicules somewhat in passing NASA, ESA and other spatial powers that are Russia, India, Europe and other spatial powers, etc., which have never been successful with such prowess technology and technology.

But ELON MUSK is not the only one to have embarked on the spatial adventure, and we also remember the American society --éozelaise "Rocket Lab", which put in orbit around the earth a giant faceted ball , Sort of sphere that reflects so much the light that it can be seen from the earth to the naked eye!

2018 Redouble of launches and conquests in space, with inter alia, besides new flights inhabited under the auspices of NASA and Space X, the mission "BEPICOLOMBO" to Mercury, organized jointly by ESA and Japan via The Ariane 5 rocket, the arrival on an asteroid of the American probe (NASA) Osiris-Rex, the launch of the insight module on Mars, probe to study the earthquakes, etc, etc ...
And if tomorrow? ... ..

Nasaon logo knows all that NASA among other dreams of a day to colonize the planet Mars, to reconstruct the atmosphere to make it more habitable than it is today, and to exploit the riches mining As other countries or continents being more or less associated with this vast project, very expensive, which is the major problem of these spatial powers.

On the other hand, for a (or) billionaire (s), nothing seems impossible today, proof east with ELON MUSK! Let's do "the economy fiction" or more, "tax-fiction"! "Ridiculous"? "Absurd", will say some? No more than this ball unnecessarily brilliant at the firmament, or that this automobile floating just as unnecessarily in the sidereal void! What is technologically and financially possible for a billionaire, is all the more if we take the time. 'Imagine for a moment a grouping of billionaires interested in the exploitation, commercial, industrial and financial, space!

And if so, tomorrow, one of them, or many, put themselves at the head of building their own spatial station? And if tomorrow, they imagined to install the headquarters of their businesses, or financial institutions? Internet links are not at all interrupted from space, on the contrary, and everything is electronically possible! But, do you say: "Who owns the space? »...
A "empty", which is not only sidereal, but which is above all legal ...

"Who owns the space", around our planet? The issue, UN experts, but also spatial powers, including France, are asked. The United Nations first, is at the origin of 5 major treaties which cover the principles of freedom of access to space and its use for peaceful purposes, the non-appropriation by the states of the moon and the bodies heavenly
