Back in early February, SpaceX sent Falcon Heavy into outer space with a very unique payload on board.

The payload was Elon Musk's personal Tesla Roadster, which is now in orbit in outer space.

Musk was asked, why? Why send a car into outer space? Well, he's now responded, via Twitter:

Why Falcon Heavy & Starman?


Additionally, SpaceX has released this new video of the launch, which includes some never-before-seen footage of the Roadster being prepped for its journey into space.
