Tuesday is the day when the whimsy of Elon Musk finally takes off.*
The billionaire's SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket is launching from Cape Canaveral, Florida and within the powerful rocket is a cherry red Tesla Roadster that will, if the launch is successful, head straight toward Mars. Not a miniature model of the battery-powered vehicle, but a full-size sports car. For real.

Musk posted an animated video (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/960579820487954432) on Monday set to David Bowie's Life on Mars? showing the highly anticipated launch.
