That headline sounded like a Trump tweet.

Almost - it should need to include a disclaimer as to non-Russian involvement

[Startrek]

Apollo Saturn 5 thrust at lift off 7.5 million pounds or equivalent power rating of 160 million horsepower at sea level

Space X Falcon Heavy thrust at lift off 5.1 million pounds

Space Shuttle thrust at lift off 4.1 million pounds approx ( 2 x solid rockets and 3 x orbiter main engines combined )

And genius stability.

Whose body will be in the trunk?

Will car be protected by a giant orange roll supplied by Hot Wheels that unfurls allowing the tesla to just drive down to the ground with its new autodrive update and seek out areas to do donuts? is it called Christine?

billion year orbit divided by 5m15s being publically broadcast into nothing is how much in copyright payments? :)
