  2. I like Elon Musk's sense of humor. The nav screen on the Tesla Roadster says "Don't Panic", like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and he is working on another project, called the BFR, Big Falcon Rocket (cleaned up from the Big F-ing Rocket) that will carry about 100 people into space. He also got the Model S Ludicrous Speed mode from "Spaceballs".
