CRS-13: A used booster launching a used spacecraft. That really is astounding, but it's about to be outdone by FH: Two used boosters launching a used car to Mars. I do hope that Elon knows someone with some clout at Tesla so he can replace the car with a new one fairly soon.

Take a look at the passenger foot well carpet of Alan Shepard's Corvette. Looks like the "Rocket Man" would like to scare the crap out of his passengers as they dug their heels in hanging on.... http://cnweb.cn.edu/corvette/Shepards/Page.html
