So Elon said a silly payload would go in the Falcon Heavy to orbit. Let me guess: an enormous banner with signatures of all SpaceX employees. Or a preserved Commodore 64. (for some reason the C64 came to mind first, I had one in my youth)

Dial the snark back please. .....1 - Protip: Don't argue with moderators. Even if you're sure you're right. Even if you're sure you're being really funny. It's not usually a good idea. At all.
