    The title of this post is incorrect. We have to wait a few hours to know if the rocket man has made it to Mars orbit.

    EDIT: It's not a Mars orbit, its a solar orbit that puts it close to Mars at times.

    From the linked article: "If all phases of the flight are successful - and that will not be known until at least 6.5 hours after lift-off - the Tesla and its passenger will be despatched into an elliptical orbit around the Sun that reaches out as far as the Planet Mars."

    What happened to the core booster did that return?

    To be accurate, I believe they call the the dummy "Star man", just if you wanna edit the title

    Center core is gone, didn't land successfully. Well it was a test and most of the flight succeeded https://twitter.com/kimballclark/status/960986447770656768
