The title of this post is incorrect. We have to wait a few hours to know if the rocket man has made it to Mars orbit.
EDIT: It's not a Mars orbit, its a solar orbit that puts it close to Mars at times.
From the linked article:
"If all phases of the flight are successful - and that will not be known until at least 6.5 hours after lift-off - the Tesla and its passenger will be despatched into an elliptical orbit around the Sun that reaches out as far as the Planet Mars."
