Forget Elon Musk's plans to go to Mars - the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is sending Mars to us.
Watch this 30-foot tall Mars balloon displayed at the Washington, D.C., center break free from its restraints and head for the freeway.
The balloon is part of the Kennedy Center's 'Celestial Bodies: Earth, Moon, Mars' exhibit, which allows viewers to wander the grounds and examine inflatable models of the Earth, the Moon, and Mars. At night, the balloons are illuminated from within, making for a fun photo-op.
It's literally Mars Attacks!
The Kennedy Center staff were able to wrangle the wayward planet back to its stationary orbit pretty quickly.
Hopefully, they use better astro-knots to tie it down this time.
