It never happened! There is no car in space! There was no launch! It is just an elaborate car commercial for Tesla!!! It was filmed in Scandinavia where it is ALWAYS dark all day long! What a clever marketer Elon Musk is.
I will say that even though this was an interesting publicity ploy, he has done more to inspire people and show people first hand the beauty of outer space than government funded enterprises have ever done. Many people write Elon Musk off as a nut who will not succeed, but it exactly THIS type of person we need to inspire people to reach for more than the average person thinks possible. Without people like that we would still be driving buggies behind horses.
