You learn from your failures. As the records have shown. Good job SpaceX. Land them all next time.

Failed

If this had been a government project the loss would have been trumpeted as a "failure". But Elon Musk simply says that if enough "fun footage" video has survived he will put it together to make a "blooper reel".

The core center was going to be dismantled... no more flight for him..even if it "survived"... since it's based on the old version...
BLk 5 is the new meta for every incoming SpaceX rockets... even those boosters that landed...are going to be phased out...

Barge landings are tricky

So that Tesla car he launched into space, where is it going to end up now?

And why send a Tesla car to Mars? There are human beings on Earth who can't even afford food and this guy is stroking his ego by sending a Tesla car to Mars?

Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Donald Trump. It's all about their own ego.

Falcon Heavy had to be tested...but it's not meant to send Satellites yet...so instead of going empty... you get this car+ few things...
And you get in the meantime a good planetary stunt...

Everyone is happy...

As for this "feeding the poor"... it's his own money... and your "point" is quite... well..; your point will apply to any "creation" on earth... per exemple why 20 Chinese companies to manufacture the same category of UAV... can't they use that extra money to help the poor? or why Building the tallest buildings? why not only one GPS like sys? why Baidu making his own ones? can't they use that extra money for...

See the pattern...

What other name do you hear as much as "Elon Musk" nowadays? (Which weirdly sounds like a male perfume). Only "Donald Trump".

It is all a game of ego. Don't tell me there wasn't something they could send to Mars that was more useful than a Tesla car.

Especially since they failed... and now it's going to get lost somewhere that is nowhere near Mars.

Trump is in celebrity president show for the next couple of years, whereas musk needs all the publicity he can get.

What failed?
And what do you want to send? when this was a test flight? and when the owner is also Tesla owner...

Why, because Tesla recently made the biggest quarterly loss in their history?

Do you think there is something that they could have sent to Mars that was more useful than a Tesla car (which is completely useless in orbit around Mars).

Don't you think Scientists would be jumping at the opportunity to put something there that is actually useful?

And worst of all, it failed. That useless Tesla car isn't even going to be in orbit around Mars, they missed completely.

Maybe they should have a contigency measure in place in case the vertical launch system doesn’t work.

it's not meant to stay in Mars orbit..; but pass by it...
And what do you want to put in a TEST FIRST flight? that his only purpose is to TEST the SYSTEM...
