[00:00:00]In 2018, [music] an astronomer in Turkey spotted a never-before-seen asteroid near Earth.

[00:00:05]Upon this discovery, he immediately contacted [music] the Minor Planet Center at Harvard, and they named that object the 2018 CN41 asteroid. But, what does this have to do with Tesla? Well, a day later, they found out that it wasn't an asteroid. It was actually Elon's personal Roadster, which was sent to space on the Falcon Heavy rocket because the folks at SpaceX [music] thought testing the rocket's payload with the concrete block was boring.
