Stephen Hawking Laid to Rest in Deep Space Courtesy of Elon Musk
One of cosmology’s greatest minds will spend the next 1,000,000 years heading towards the nearest black hole via a Tesla Roadster, all thanks to Elon Musk and SpaceX.
"Stephen's final resting place will be the nearest black hole," said Elon Musk. "We would've liked to have gotten him there faster, but the funeral package he selected only came with the Tesla Roadster," added Mr. Musk.
"I offered him a package that included an upgraded space suit and rocket propelled shuttle, which would have cut his travel time in half, but it was outside his price range," explained Mr. Musk.
The launch sending Mr. Hawking on his final journey took place early this morning at Cape Canaveral, with all of Stephen’s family and friends in attendance, including current celebrity physicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who said a few words.
"Although I won't live to see Stephen swallowed by a black hole, hopefully my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandchildren will," said Mr. deGrasse Tyson.
Mr. deGrasse Tyson then wiped a tear away from his eye due to the sheer beauty of the image he described.
