CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - A SpaceX "Starman" is aboard the company's new rocket that's set to make its launch debut from Florida SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk revealed pictures of the surprise dummy passenger Tuesday.

Starman, as Musk calls the passenger, is wearing a white-and-black-trimmed spacesuit and helmet.
