No, you didn’t dream it up. Wednesday, the world was abuzz over Elon Musk’s Tesla company sending a rocket into orbit that was toting a roadster with a space suited manniquin (aka “Spaceman”) on board. The images were instantly provocative and captivating, and several MMO studios couldn’t help but jump on board the moment.
The Guild Wars 2 team suggested that a Quaggan in a space suit could join the fun, while Star Trek Online had a field day with an “Earth space dock traffic notification.”
And Dual Universe whipped up a short video showing its version of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket taking off, which you can watch after the break.
This is DualX, our own humble version of Falcon Heavy within #DualUniverse. Congrats to @elonmusk and @SpaceX for the amazing success yesterday! 🚀😃👍 pic.twitter.com/EIhHrbVz5g

EARTH SPACE DOCK TRAFFIC NOTIFICATION: @elonmusk's Tesla Roadster, is passing through Earth orbit once again today. Be on the lookout for this piece of earth history. Starfleet's engineers are headed up now to get Starman playing again, and then we'll send it on its way. pic.twitter.com/lbE4jnp0mA
