If it blows up on launch, losing a Roadster is less painful than what that scientist poured years of his/her life into.

- dguest 9y agoThe cost of launching something into low earth orbit is about 50K per pound (before spaceX) so I can imagine an interplanetary trajectory is quite a lot more. At this rate there are probably a lot of science projects that will never be funded, so if I had a less popular proposal I might take those odds.
