Mad idea, but it worked mostly. The car is now on it's way into the solar system. 2/3 of the boosters returned to the Earth as planned, the central core didn't make it. The relatively low cost of the launch is also a plus.
A cartoon in the Sunday Times today shows the car being drawn towards a large round object, and saying to itself "oh no, I'm being sucked into a black pothole"
