Do you ever wonder, as I do, if the Tesla that Elon Musk launched it in to space five years ago is still orbiting the Earth as 'space junk'?
You can rest easy knowing it is 202 million miles out in space. It has logged over 2.5 billion miles. By far it has the most number of miles on it of any car ever produced.
Before its 2018 launch, SpaceX loaded up the car with various Easter eggs. Behind the wheel was a spacesuit-clad mannequin, nicknamed Starman, and on the dashboard, a sign that read “Don’t Panic,” a reference to the famed science fiction story, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” There was also a data storage device loaded with the works of sci-fi writer Isaac Asminov and a plaque inscribed with the names of thousands of SpaceX employees.
