It's guaranteed to be great either way!

#4What are the chances of it launching as scheduled? I've dreamed of seeing it but I only have a one day window to fly down and back because of some work obligations.

Well, it has been postponed quite a few times so I figure with every postponement the chances of it working are going up, but I would not be surprised if they postpone it again.
And I'd rather have them postpone it once more than take chances, if it works the first time that would be awesome.

#7> Because of the experimental nature of the first flight, and perhaps as a way to burnish the spectacle, Musk decided the payload will be his personal Roadster sports car made by another one of his companies, Tesla Inc., that will be set to play David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” on repeat as it’s hurled into the deep beyond.
How cool is that? I hope they have a camera on that car, so we can see it in the video stream.

Tfa says the best viewing spots are sold out! I don't think I can justify the flight and missing work to view from 7 miles away. My wife will be relieved but man what a disappointment.

They must have. No other car brand will ever have marketing material that compares to a Tesla being pictured while actually in space.

Remember that fb sattelite explosion ? If Falcon Heavy explodes (and I really hope it doesn't) the blast will be three times as big. I don't think I'm prepared.
