And the thing is, Musk also brings an element of style to everything he does.
His rocketship looks a lot like the streamlined rocketships that adorned the covers of 1950’s and 1960’s sci-fi magazines and books.
His launch of a Tesla with a spacesuited ‘driver’ brought mental images of a very similar scene in the opening of the 1970’s animated film “Heavy Metal”.

Thanks Laz - that was awesome!
And that Tesla he launched with Starman was his personal candy apple red Roadster (IIRC).

Saw Heavy Metal dozens of times and own several NIB copies for "just in case". d;^)
