Elon Musk Launched Tesla Car In Space 7 Years Ago, Here's Where It Is Now
It has been a little over seven years since SpaceX first test-launched its powerful Falcon Heavy rocket. The February 2018 launch also shot SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's personal Tesla Roadster, along with a mannequin named Starman, into space and the cherry-red sports car is still out there in orbit revolving around the sun. Whereisroadster.com, a website created by Ben Pearson to track the red car on its journey through space, regularly follows the car's location and calculates the distance it has travelled. According to the site, it has been exactly 7 years and 14 days since the launch of the vehicle. The Roadster has "driven" around 3.5 trillion miles, it said.
