We bring you #MuskOnMars! Reserve any day in the future for $1. If he lands on Mars that day, you keep the pot! (yes, physical Elon Musk on physical Mars). Feel free to research, ask a fortune-teller, or direct message Elon himself.
Hey Product Hunt!Β
Happy Friday! π
We thought 2020 could use something a bit lighthearted and fun when it comes to tech so we set out to launch a new βbad ideaβ every two weeks for the rest of the year.
I'm one part of Bad Unicorn along with the talented (and much funnier) @whit_anderson. We're a couple of indie makers collaborating remotely from different countries on a new project with two aims:Β
1. Make you smile with something a bit funny/sillyΒ
2. Show makers how to ship often and learn from the experience Β
Our first drop is Musk on Mars. Ever wanted to be the first person to calculate when Elon Musk will set foot on The Red Planet? Well now you can! Reserve any day you want in the future (that hasnβt been claimed already) and see all those years studying rocket science and planetary orbits pay off!Β π
All built with no-code!Β
Thank you for stopping by and sharing your support! π

βMad respect for the makers of thingsβ - @elonmusk
Report
@whit_anderson@elonmusk@modernafflatus My only comment is that there is no option to pick a year. It moves month by month. Most people would like to select a couple of years down the lane which would be super cumbersome. Suggest adding an option to easily pick a future year.
@deepuasok I know! That's my top change too. We searched high and low for a low-code solution to get that fixed but no luck. I guess those are some of the constraints of no-code π thanks for the suggestions! Will look to fix that soon!
Congrats @modernafflatus and @whit_anderson on the launch. I'm a big believer in projects like this. Demonstrating exactly what YC Founder Paul Graham once said, "The future is not hard to see. You've already seen it. You just didn't realize it, because you dismissed it as a toy."
And specifically speaking about this project. Because the barrier to make things like this has been democratized by no-code, what's the risk to make something? We will see creative projects like this that will inspire more folks to be creators. And that's never a bad thing.
Great job on the project and can't wait to see what you create next.
@whit_anderson@michaeljnovotny You're totally right. After we launched we took a step back and were amazed at how everything came together using just no-code tools - it felt like just putting Lego blocks together to create the thing we wanted. If stuff like this could inspire a new wave of innovators and problem-solvers that would be amazing!
I know Whit and Ash are working on this super cool idea for some time and I can't help but hunt them on PH. They are doing some jaw-dropping work at Bad Unicorn. Musk on Mars is their 1st launch and I'm stoked for it π
Join me in showing some love and support to these awesome makers β€οΈ
@stusim Thanks for checking it out! Yes, we're only getting started with the ideas at Bad Unicorn and want to show other makers what you can make in a fun/silly way.
We like to think of this more of the beginning of a platform where astrophysics enthusiasts can use their skills to calculate journeys through space to a specific 24 hour period but yeah feel free to use your imagination on all those ideas! π π
@stusim Thanks Stuart π definitely a bit gimmicky but the point is for it to kinda be a gag. Love the feedback! (a platform for betting sounds dope but the regulation is so difficult to manageπ )
Awesome work to you both π You definitely brought a happier note to 2020! Can't wait ti get Elon involved and the next Bad Unicorns you will cook up.
Hi Product Hunt!
We appreciate you stopping by and checking out our launch (pun intended π)
This product has been hilarious to build and even funnier to hear people's reactions. Our goal is to build products that people can laugh at and enjoy each Friday! @modernafflatus and I are the makers at BadUnicorn which is a biweekly newsletter where we build funny and sometimes flat out bad startup ideas.
All our products are built with #nocode so we also want to show off the power and speed of what can be built without using any code!
Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy #MuskOnMars and possibly our other products to come!
PS There is no pressure to buy a day. The goal isn't to optimize for sales, it's to optimize for laughs so if have any comments that will make the site funnier, drop it below! π
