One small step for Elon Musk, one giant leap for Tesla. Starman, the electric car orbiting the sun, is celebrating its 5th year in space.
The Starman has completed about 3.2793 orbits around the Sun since launch. It takes the car about 557 days to orbit around the sun.
Musk’s roadster has cameras mounted on the car which beamed back incredible shots of its journey around Earth and onwards to infinity.A Hot Wheels roadster toy car was also on the dashboard with a tiny spaceman on board. According to an orbit-modelling study, Starman will swing back past Earth in 2091, coming within a few hundred thousand kilometres of our planet.
Considering the damage being inflicted upon it by the harshness of space, the Roadster may just be a worn aluminium shell by then.
