This happened yesterday. Elon Musk has sent his Tesla Roadster into the deep unknown aboard SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket, which successfully launched on its first-ever test flight.
Carrying the SpaceX founder’s personal Tesla, Falcon Heavy took flight on Tuesday, February 6, 2018, around 3:45pm EST from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Cameras attached to the electric car showed it heading deeper into space. The car, blaring David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’ on an endless loop, is being piloted by a dummy dressed in a spacesuit, dubbed ‘Starman.’
Dreamed and done... Only the barge landing failed... Amazing!

I love watching the rockets when they land back on Earth. It looks just like all the old sci-fi movie rocket landings. I actually did not think we could ever land rockets that way!
