A Red Car for the Red Planet Test flights of new rockets usually contain mass simulators in the form of concrete or steel blocks. That seemed extremely boring. Of course, anything boring is terrible, especially companies, so we decided to send something unusual, something that made us feel. The payload will be an original Tesla Roadster, playing Space Oddity, on a billion year elliptic Mars orbit.
馬斯克真的要讓紅色跑車前往紅色星球相見歡！雖然這台車並沒有要降落在火星身上，而是利用「霍曼轉移軌道」（Hohmann transfer orbit）方法，先隨著太空船圍繞太陽軌道運行，等到達遠拱點時再切換速度進入一個橢圓形火星軌道，漂流長達 10 億年之久。
