Maybe I am not reading this right. However, it seems he wants to put a Tesla Roadster in orbit of Mars? If so, that is a terrible idea. Our own planet has so much space junk floating around that it is becoming unmanageable and actually harming future launches. Why ruin the orbit of another planet? I certainly hope this car has some sort of de-orbiting mechanism.
