The duo won't stay long in place. As depicted on the chart, the car and the effigy will circle back in heliocentric orbit, eventually approaching the Sun like Earth. The Roadster and lone passengers will be thousands of kilometers from Earth in 2091, according to a study based on orbital modeling. The research team predicts that the car will crash into Venus or Earth for millions of years. The ability of the car to crash into Earth and Venus after another million years is 6% and 2.5% respectively.

"New missile test flights often carry large-scale simulations of concrete or steel blocks. That sounds extremely boring. Of course, anything boring is bad, especially for The company, so we decided to launch an unusual object, which could bring a lot of emotions: The cargo on Falcon Heavy was the original Tesla Roadster that turned on the Space Oddity song, possibly in orbit Mars billion years, " Musk said.

Falcon Heavy's second mission was to launch Saudi Arabsat-6A communications satellite to a geostationary orbit in January 2019. Falcon Heavy missiles are as high as a 20-storey building, equipped with 27 Merlin engines and include three floors pushed from Falcon 9 missiles.
