About My Trip To Space
Last month, I thrilled you with my aerobatics flying a WWII Spitfire over the White Cliffs of Dover (click here if you missed it).
This month, I one-upped myself.
In appreciation to the early buyers of Model S-1’s, Tesla invited me to submit a photo to be etched on the side of a satellite launch into space. Having purchased chassis no. 125, I certainly qualified. Those who referred 25 other buyers were allowed to send videos.
Of course, I had to send a picture of me piloting a 1929 Travelaire D4D biplane, which you can find below. The photo was inserted into the mosaic below. I sent the Spitfire video on an SD card and it’s in orbit as well.
The blast-off took place at Cape Canaveral, Florida on August 4, 2022.
You have to hand it to Tesla, they really know how to do PR, and their advertising budget is nearly zero. The Detroit Big 3 spend $50 billion a year on advertising and get a lesser result.
To watch a video of me blasting off into space on a Space X Falcon 9, or at least my laser etched image, please click here.
Oh, and buy (TSLA) on dips as well.
