YET It's trajectory and orbit will put it beyond Mars' orbit. The car is still relatively close to Earth. Cheers!

I hope they have charging stations past the Van Allen belts. All characters and events in this forum --even those based on real people-- are entirely fictional.

I hope they have charging stations past the Van Allen belts. I hear tires are very pricey out there When they sell it as a factory demo, the mileage is gonna be a bitch. “Just space miles.” All characters and events in this forum --even those based on real people-- are entirely fictional.
