I was going to reply just to tell you how dumb that is, but then I double checked, and the Falcon Heavy can put a 38,000 lb payload into Mars injection orbit. T

I was going to reply just to tell you how dumb that is, but then I double checked, and the Falcon Heavy can put a 38,000 lb payload into Mars injection orbit. Thats enough for a big set of retro-rockets, a sky-crane landing system, some solar cells to recharge it, and a robot to drive it around.
- hwillis 9y agoFor reference, Curiosity weighed 2000 lbs, somewhere between 50% and 75% of what the new roadster will weigh. The MSL payload that landed Curiosity weighed 8,600 lbs total, so yeah- you could probably land two or three roadsters!
