I’m also pretty sure SpaceX fired a Tesla into space.

  My Facebook background picture is one of the images of that car in near-Earth space from before it left radio contact. It was Musk’s personal property, chosen in part after being suggested on a Twitter thread by one of his fans, and the alternative was literally a concrete block as that was a test flight and none of the normal customers they went to wanted to risk their stuff for even a free ride. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk%27s_Tesla_Roadster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk%27s_Tesla_Roadster
