I put up a player link
A few screen shots from the Feed:

http://chanlo.com/images/starman-2.jpg
http://chanlo.com/images/starman-3.jpg
Every now and then because the camera IS so sensitive, it will show the star field, and how fast the craft is spinning.. (no UFO's there folks, just stars in the background), when it moved past the sun view, there were plenty of lens flares showing up.
Again a great feed.
Tribute to "RocketMan" (have your box of tissues handy.. :bearhug: )

And this screenshot has been adjusted to be WALLPAPER size - enjoy !

==THIS FEED if they keep it up WILL BE MINDBLOWING if they keep the cameras running as they send StarMan out to MARS.. as long as it will send back that, mindblowing.. thanks SpaceX !

This, I posted on the other Elon Musk thread half an hour ago or so:
I was just watching the live-cam posted by Star Tsar, the Tesla car passed Earth then there must have been at least 20 - 30 'objects' appearing from all sorts of different trajectories, and especially 2 that were stationary and started flashing blue, white, yellow & green........... Awesome.
Guess what happened next?
Camera switched to a shot of the Falcon engine for about 10 seconds, then screen blank and a message along the lines of, "sorry, there is a technical fault."
Priceless!!
22:55 ......... This is phenomenal! They have to keep cutting the feed, There is SO much activity up there....... I'm aware of lens-flare, satellites, shooting stars, debris, etc, but a lot of what I've just been watching ain't covered by those. Changing trajectories, travelling in groups......... Ahhhhh, brilliant!

Great to see a private company making NASA look silly ... This was a huge step for mankind ... it's only a matter of time before space travel becomes normal, like sailing on the ocean ...

And we''ll have crossed the bridge from chemical reaction motors in to the 'real stuff'.. just getting past that first hump and the hold put on mankind.. Musk should realize if he hasn't there is something better out there for TESLA vehicles than lithium :)

I'm sure he knows but has to play the chess game and baby steps and has been told so.

Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster heads off course towards asteroid belt
Following the launch, Musk tweeted: "Third burn successful. Exceeded Mars orbit and kept going to the Asteroid Belt".
A diagram showing the orbit of the Roadster - 'driven' by a mannequin called Starman - showed that it had gone further out into the Solar System than originally planned.

Mmmm, my first idea was: "Oh no, even outside our planet we made another car graveyard! Why send a car to space as advertisement? "
"But after looking at some Russian youtube real live stream (sorry, no link because I looked at it by my 49" UHD screen with no info about the links) I think it can turn out as a great idea! When you look at the live-stream, there are so many, obviously not being any kind of debris, moving objects. They are also not stars because their speeds and directions differ. These look exactly the same things NASA caught on camera during space-shuttle missions and cutting the live-stream. Cutting the live-stream now seems not to be done because there are so many. They would have to stop all live-streaming and have to explain why the transmissions stopped.
What are these objects? I think they are very likely cosmic-light driven transportation devices, aka UFO's ... In that case, I think this car shows to 'The Others' a different and good peaceful message then the past military objects by NASA and others."
UPDATE:
I have looked again very carefully and in slow motion to the debris. In one occasion a little peace was visible inside the car as seen by the FPV camera on the right of Starman. This IS debris and is unfortunately not a bunch of cosmic-light driven transportation devices.
I also tracked other debris and that seems to come from the right aft side of the car and looks like some kind of fluid leakage, like an open bottle of water thrown into the air in slow motion. De frozen droplets are continuously sprayed around the car from the still attached last stage of the rocket. Because the whole thing is uncontrolled tumbling through space, the leaking fluid, or now frozen crystal particles are swirling all around. Sunlight is doing the rest. It might be some damage and maybe that's why the camera is being switched if to much debris is in view as 'Advertisement damage control.'
So, by keep having an open mind, I understand what this mystery was. It is possible to trace the source and the origin of the particles.
Even in space, Starman may need his wipers ...
"Yeah, I am going to look again to the great livestream and just have as much fun as Starman!"
I had still a lot of fun by solving the mystery of the 'spaceships' and this:
"It shows the fun and joy we can have on Earth and that we are not only in wars. "
is still valid.
:cool:
(By the way, if Elon uses this info, just 1 million Euro is already enough to get the rights of this research. He, businessman!)

NASA Has Officially Listed Musk's Tesla Roadster as a Celestial Object.
Go here: https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi
click “change” next to the target body, type in “SpaceX,” hit enter, then click “Generate ephemeris.”
You’ll find both the details about the Roadster, as well as its ephemeris, or its position in the sky.
This is the same system that tracks all the other bodies in the Solar System, including satellites.

We should see the degradation of the materials that the car is made from pretty soon huh? I mean, it gets pretty cold in space, not to mention the fierce radiation, right? If you look at traditional space craft, they have all sorts of shielding, gold foil, etc, etc, to protect from these extreme temperatures.
The tyres on the car look pretty standard, as does the car, especially the interior......... Unless, unless the wiley old fox, Musk, has had this Tesla car made with super-duper materials that can survive the harsh environment of space without degrading.
Yeah, that must be it.
Right?

Move to 41 min in and go full screen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqlMQW2VZ1Q?t=2474
one can see the moving dot center screen just above the cursor +, but take some time, there are other "dots" moving similar directions across the image, loop and take a look..
the image comparative function no doubt is what is used to find incoming asteroids too, or other objects moving..
i can only imagine the complexity involved in plotting over time trajectories of those objects..

I'm hoping that the question of the reality of 'space' will be answered by this Tesla Roadster.
Either, it will degrade pretty rapidly, proving what we have been told for decades by our national agencies and government scientists, that space is a harsh, harsh, place to be, and a very dangerous place for Human beings to be.
Or, it isn't. If that car was Elon Musk's personal Roadster, as we have been told, and made of materials not designed for deep space, and does not degrade in any way, then what we have been told about the environment of space won't be true.
And if that turns out to be true......

“We estimate the probability of a collision with Earth and Venus over the next one million years to be six per cent and 2.5 per cent respectively,” the authors write in the paper published yesterday on the arXiv physics preprint server.
The car is now in an elliptical orbit that will take it further than Mars, 160 million miles from the sun, according to The Verge.
Study author Hanno Rein told CBSNews that seeing the object’s data on the JPL database got them excited. They ran a number of models with different initial conditions—it’s hard to model something so many years out because of how many other gravitational factors there are. Instead, they have to do things statistically and get results as percentages. The car’s next close encounter with Earth will be in 2091.
To be clear, this means that it’s very, very unlikely the car will hit the Earth. But obviously a human-induced nonzero percentage of any collision is a little unsettling, even over time periods longer than it will take to nuke ourselves.
As it is a paper on the arXiv, it’s worth taking this paper with a grain of salt since it hasn’t been peer reviewed—we’ve also reached out to a few other astronomers. Caltech Planetary Astrophysicist Konstantin Batygin told us: “Yes, this modelling is as precise as you can get with these types of problems. You have orbital predictability for a while, but eventually, chaotic diffusion inevitably ensues. Of course, a 6% chance that within the next million years a Tesla might fall from the sky is not what you should stay up at night worrying about. Still, it’s cool calculation.”
SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Right?
You could, IMO, if looking closely..see signs of the car starting to disintegrate, in those initial 12hrs of recorded imagery. shrinkage, burn, repeat. Ie, freeze, then burn, back and forth, and the eventual stressing showing itself.
I watched it pretty well from the first second until they could roll no more tape.

In the last bit of footage I watched, it looked as if the windscreen was showing signs of condensation, which, as we know, would be impossible in the vacuum of space. A lot of commenters jumped on this as proof that it was all hoaxed (the footage). I think what I was seeing was possibly the start of the de-lamination of the windscreen. I found it strange that none of the interior plastics were showing signs of stress or of the de-colourisation due to intense UV....... Think plastic car bumpers, usually black, that turn a faded, milky-white colour usually in hot countries, like a bleaching effect. I would have thought this process would have begun fairly quickly without the protective layers of 'atmosphere', especially in the Thermosphere where the roadster is/was residing.

I had to find the right thread to post this video-- while away from the computer for awhile I got to thinking about space x's tesla car, "starman", and the implications.
