Thanks guys. So the bottom of the trunk has a door/hatch, or is it just exposed to space all the time?

Jay Leno and Elon Musk inside the new Cypertruck
![]() The new Cypertruck ![]() Elon Musk has a company called the Boring Company. They can build large round underground tunnels which he plans to build in California so Telsa's can bypass traffic. Jay Leno drives the Cypertruck through a mile long Boring Tunnel at the factory. ![]() Melbourne, Florida Charging Station ![]() Elon Musk outside waiting on the burgers I've seen more Elon Musk this week than I have ever before combined, I got to know more about him, which was good. I watch Jay Leno's Garage Show on CNBC every week since that show started about 5 years ago. This past Wednesday's show was at the Telsa Company, filmed last November. The new Telsa cars have model names such as S, E, X, Y, you should be able to figure out why those letters were chosen. He has a new Cypertruck, shown above, it's stainless steel and windows are bulletproof, no particular reason, just because he could. Unlike most prototypes that look nothing like the eventual car, he wants his prototypes to like the real thing. The truck is basically ready for production except he will shrink it 5% all over so it will fit in the average garage. On the back, the bed is covered by a motorized roll down top, to protect the cargo. It's also strong, when Jay asked how strong it was, Alon got up on the cover and it held. The new cars look fantastic, they fast, he has one model that will sell for $200,000 but it will go 0-60 in 1.9 seconds. It fact it will have a rocket thruster like James Bond. The license plate will fold down and a rocket thruster will be available. Last week when the original launch at the Cape was cancelled, later that day he was spotted at Five Guys in Melbourne, Florida. I was watching Orlando Fox 35 local news that night and they had a crew go there. Apparently it has the closest Tesla Charging station, so Elon and his entourage showed up to charge their cars and while waiting they went to Five Guys, look like he had about five cars. Elon stayed outside and talked with a crowd that quickly gathered and stood for photos, while his entourage went inside to order burgers to go. Entourage ordering burgers, everybody wears the same black suit like Elon and looks like they've got bulletproof vests on. ![]() |

Apparently I'm an idiot in the mornings. Here's video of stage 2 sep from cargo, with camera view of the trunk with the BEAM module in it...

Bob's comments on the ascent were interesting. Maybe more violent than expected?

This was so interesting reminded me of as a Lil tike watching newsreels Gemini and Mercury on the black and white with family. Then later live with the Apolo launches and what we got to see of walks then splashdowns.
The news conference from ground control dignitaries got to be a bit much inside the ISS. Did Bob skin his forehead entering the ISS? He kept wiping his forehead and rubbing right side his head.
