Elon Musk plays Overwatch, but who does he main?

Elon Musk is more popularly known these days as the guy who wants to bring people to Mars. But in his down time (something difficult to imagine, what with several companies under his belt), he likes to play Overwatch, and will recommend it in a heartbeat.

Musk recently sat down for an interview with Y Combinator and it was here that the interviewer Sam Altman asked for game recommendations. Without missing a beat, Musk recommended Overwatch, reports Gizmodo.

The Gizmodo team then attempted to reach out to Musk and ask him which character he often uses when playing online. He responds to the message with “It’s too embarrassing :).”

In the game of Overwatch, there are just a handful of characters that are shamed by the community when used as a main. One of which is Bastion.

Of course there was no confirmation from Musk’s end but Bastion is a fairly sound, educated guess.

SpaceX cargo ship reaches International Space Station

 

SpaceX's unmanned Dragon cargo ship arrived Monday at the International Space Station, carrying 2.6 tons of food and supplies for the astronauts at the orbiting research laboratory.

 

"We have captured Dragon," NASA commentator Rob Navias said as the space station's robotic arm, operated by commander Barry "Butch" Wilmore, grappled the spacecraft at 5:54 am (1054 GMT), according to NASA's television broadcast.

 

Wilmore was assisted by European Space Agency flight engineer Samantha Cristoforetti as they used the station's 17.6-meter (57.7-foot) robotic arm to reach out and capture the Dragon spacecraft.

 

The rendezvous was "flawless," Navias said.

 

Dragon was bolted onto the station's Earth-facing Harmony node at 8:54 (1354 GMT).

 

The cargo ship launched atop a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida on Saturday. It marked the fifth of at least 12 planned official missions for SpaceX which has a $1.6 billion contract with NASA to supply the space station.

 

The equipment on board includes a NASA-developed system known as the Cloud-Aerosol Transport System (CATS) for measuring tiny particles called aerosols in the atmosphere.

 

Ready-made meals, science experiments, an IMAX camera and tools to help astronauts during spacewalks are also in the payload.

 

Astronauts may begin unloading the spacecraft as early as Monday afternoon.

 

Dragon will spend about a month there before returning to Earth with over 3,600 pounds (1,600 kilograms) of cargo that is no longer needed by the crew in space, as well as computer equipment and science experiments that need further analysis on Earth.

 

The spaceship is the only cargo vessel in the world that can return to Earth intact. Other supply ships burn up on re-entry to Earth's atmosphere.

 

It will head back to Earth for an ocean splashdown on February 10, NASA said. — Agence France-Presse
