Get a gorgeous wallpaper of the Tesla in space
Say hello to your new wallpaper.
And then say thank you to SpaceX, and to Reddit. On Tuesday, Reddit user “AB-nebula” posted a gorgeous wallpaper of the space hero Starman — a spacesuit behind the wheel of the Tesla Roadster Elon Musk launched into space on board the Falcon Heavy rocket — with Earth in the background, to r/Wallpapers.
The images were first shared to Twitter by Marques Brownlee.

If you, like us, want to be constantly reminded of Starman and his courage, you have a number of wallpaper options. Other Reddit users have incorporated our favorite Tesla driver into creative wallpapers, such as user “Tutkular” who vectorized the images for a cool futuristic effect.
And user “PutThatCatDown” rolled out an over-the-shoulder look at the Earth and the car’s “Don’t Panic” message.
The SpaceX Falcon Heavy launched our dear friend into space Tuesday afternoon. If all goes as planned, he and his vehicle should be floating around space for approximately a billion years — so there should be plenty of photo opportunities.

Drunk man accidentally takes $1,600 Uber ride 0

Kenneth, my greatest friend whom I have never met, drunkenly took a $1,635.93 Uber ride from West Virginia to New Jersey last weekend.
After a night of partying with friends near West Virginia University, Kenneth ordered an UberXL to his home over 300 miles away — a decision that, according to a Philadelphia CBS affiliate, he “doesn’t quite recall” making.

“Basically, I kinda just blacked out,” Kenneth explained. “The last thing I remember was being at the bar and then I just woke up in the Uber next to an older dude telling me I was an hour out from Jersey.”
From there, Kenneth completed the $1,635.93 journey home.
One small silver lining: it was a five hour trip, so at least my dude Kenneth enjoyed a much-needed nap. Other than that, it’s like, Kenneth, come on. What else is there to say? Oh my god.
