Starship S42 sports 'DON'T PANIC', continuing Musk's Hitchhiker's Guide Easter egg from the 2018 Tesla Roadster

- SpaceX's Starship S42 booster now carries the words "DON'T PANIC", pairing with the number 42 as a double Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference: the famous cover message plus the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.
- It echoes the 2018 Tesla Roadster launched into space, whose dashboard display also read DON'T PANIC — from a car orbiting the Sun to a ship built for Mars.
