A final salute to Starman, the world's loneliest astronaut. It will be the Moon next Aug. 14 that will show us the exact point in the sky to which to send our thoughts
you will be able to answer a question that certainly has often crossed your mind of space enthusiasts... that is: where is Starman now?
You know exactly what I'm talking about... not the alien visitor played by Jeff Bridges in the movie of the same name, but the silent astronaut who has been piloting a red Tesla Roadster car around the Sun for more than three and a half years.

Do you remember? Given the risk of launch failure (it was assumed 50% chance that the rocket exploded on the ramp, as happened in the previous test), to test what at the time was supposed to be the most powerful rocket in the world, the Falcon Heavy, SpaceX needed a dummy load, that is of no importance in scientific and economic terms.
Elon Musk, the patron of both SpaceX and Tesla, therefore chose his personal Roadster instead of a simple ballast, putting at the wheel a dummy wearing the prototype of the next-generation spacesuit. The same one that we have then really seen in the Crew Dragon astronauts heading to the Space Station
