 This Tesla sure looks fake, but that's because of the way colors appear in space....
Even Elon Musk thinks his space-cruising midnight-cherry Tesla Roadster looks weird. "It looks so ridiculous and impossible," the SpaceX CEO told reporters after the Falcon Heavy megarocket launched the car into space yesterday (Feb. 6).

Everything's too crisp," he said.
