What did the Tesla sports car "drive into" space scientists say?

Tesla sports car "enters" space scientist: it will disintegrate in less than a year.

On February 8 th, local time on the 6 th, Space X's Falcon heavy rocket was successfully launched, and a red Tesla sports car was sent into space. According to the idea, this sports car will go to Mars and experience a long space journey. However, scientists point out that this sports car may be completely destroyed and disintegrated in less than a year due to radiation and space junk.

According to reports, William Carroll, a chemist at Indiana University in the United States, said that there are a lot of stones floating in space, which may collide with the Tesla Roadster sports car sent into space by Space Exploration Technology Company. Moreover, even if the sports car can avoid colliding with large objects, it is difficult to avoid "meeting" with pebbles.

On February 6, local time, the Falcon heavy rocket tested by Space Exploration Technology Company of Space Exploration Company was successfully launched, which will send a Tesla sports car into orbit around the sun.

In addition, radiation in space will also pose a great threat to sports cars. The earth's surface is different from outer space, protected by magnetic field and atmosphere, and can be protected from cosmic radiation and sunlight. Carol said: "In space, all organic compounds will be destroyed by all kinds of radiation.

Carol pointed out that the Tesla sports car sent to Mars consists of a carbon fiber frame and plastic parts, and cosmic radiation will cause the car to split into pieces.
