I wonder if it will rust, paint will fade, upholstery and plastics get brittle, and oil leak during its trip over a billion years.
We may never find out the end result. |

Imagine if aliens find the car floating in space.... They will be totally confused how 12 volt batteries and Pirelli tyres propel it through space.

Allegedly Elon waved goodbye with the key in his pocket.

However it's sad that it's taken one guy with a vision and willing to back with $$$ to get us back to the 1960s .. Also sad that average person cares naught for any of the space-faring events that happen around us (eg. ISS anyone?), but when Elon does a Von Braun, it's all over the news.

Wow, this stunt pretty much sums up Musk.

Thankfully they called it Falcon Heavy, if it was Commodore Heavy it would still be sitting on the launchpad.

The reports say the car is off course and heading for an asteroid belt. It's said that even if the car makes it through the belt, the level of radiation will eventually disintegrate the car within a year.
