It’s all over the news. Elon Musk, a business magnate and inventor, has successfully launched Falcon Heavy, the most powerful rocket on Earth, into space. After years of technical difficulties and experiments, his SpaceX became the first commercial company in the history to pull off a move like this. But, it wouldn’t be Elon Musk if he didn’t do it with a twist. He also attached his Tesla Roadster on top of the rocket, with a dummy called Starman as its passenger.

Now the Starman is cruising through space with David Bowie’s “Starman” blasting from the radio and internet reacted to the move in the funniest way possible. From common people to celebrities, everyone had their own take on this big event. We decided to browse Twitter and brought you the best of them to brighten your day.

That’s right, a giant phallus, cranking rock ‘n’ roll, releasing a red convertible into the dark void. And the award for most mid-life crisis goes to Elon Musk. #FalconHeavy #LSSC pic.twitter.com/94dKkM4e5a
