Did you miss the beginning of this thread? Musk isn't taking
suggestions. He Tweeted he's sending his Tesla Roadster up on the first
Falcon Heavy flight. The first test flight has maybe a 50/50 chance of
success. So, this thing is going to be a mass simulator, albeit a fancy
one than your typical hunk of metal or tank of water.

Does make me wonder, normally with a mass simulator you can at least decide
where your center of mass is, etc.
Curious if it's JUST the Tesla or other mass to make it ideal the way they
want.
A report today says it's NOT going to be his Tesla Roadster. Oh well,
it was fun while it lasted.
