'Starman,' the dummy in the driver's seat of Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster, has been on quite the journey.

The electric car first launched into space on February 6, 2018 — an event that captured stargazers' imaginations.

The website WhereIsRoadster has since tracked the car's trip around the Solar System. At the time of writing, the website estimates that the car is currently making its way past Mars: it's around 5.9 million miles from the Red Planet, and moving at around 10,400 mph — just as well there's no speed limits for cars in space.

Earlier this year, SpaceX reported the car had made its first close approach with Mars. Cisdem video player 4 5 0 4. On October 7, the company claimed via Twitter the Roadster came within five million miles, or 0.05 astronomical units, of Mars.

The WhereIsRoadster website estimates the approach happened at around 3:25 a.m. Eastern.

'Starman' is moving through space at rapid speed. The tracker shows the car is moving at around 55,700 miles per hour, 'driving' 1.3 million miles around the Sun. That's the same distance as if the Roadster covered Earth's roads some 58 times over.

The car is perhaps SpaceX's most bizarre launch ever — but it had a serious purpose.

The launch was aimed at testing the Falcon Heavy, which ranked as the world's most powerful operational rocket with around five million pounds of liftoff thrust. Musk used his personal car as a payload, kitted out with a dummy wearing a SpaceX spacesuit.

The car is packed with cultural references. The in-car sound system plays David Bowie's 'Space Oddity' on loop, while the dashboard has the words 'Don't Panic' etched in it as a reference to Douglas Adams' novel Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Were they a real person, 'Starman' would've likely grown tired of Bowie – the song has looped around 267,000 times, if it is still playing that is.

The car also contained a '5D quartz laser storage device,' produced in collaboration with the Arch Mission Foundation, that held Isaac Asimov's Foundation book trilogy.

'Maybe discovered by some future alien race thinking what the heck, what were these guys doing?' Musk told reporters at the Kennedy Space Center after the launch. 'Did they worship this car? Why do they have a little car in the car? And that'll really confuse them.'

Where next for 'Starman?' It's currently some 128 million miles from the Sun, moving toward the star at 14,000 mph. It's so far completed around 1.8 orbits. It's not expected to drive by Mars again until 2035, WhereIsRoadster creator Ben Pearson wrote on Twitter.

While it's hard to say for sure whether 'Starman' is enjoying the journey, the car itself is likely in a pretty terrible condition. William Carroll, a chemist at Indiana University, told LiveScience in the days after the launch that radiation will cut and tear organic materials, like the rubber tires.

'Those organics, in that environment, I wouldn't give them a year,' he told the publication. The materials most likely to survive are the aluminum frame, other metals, and the glass — if it can avoid meteor impacts.

Tesla is developing the second-generation Roadster, the sequel to its first-ever electric car. The car will likely hit roads in 2022, feature acceleration of 0 to 60 mph in less than two seconds, and offer around 620 miles of range on a single charge.

With SpaceX working hard on Starship for its future missions to Mars, perhaps there's scope to send another Tesla careering around the Solar System?

In February 2018, Elon Musk did what's never been done before: he launched a Cherry Red TeslaRoadster into space to the tune of David Bowie's 'Space Oddity'. The SpaceX. company wanted to use something fun and silly for the dummy payload of the first Falcon Heavy (the rocket) test flight, so they used a 2008 Tesla Roadster, with a dummy doll inside of it named 'Starman'. The Roadster was the one that Musk himself used back then for commuting to work. The automobile is 190 centimeters in length, and 113 centimeters in width, and weighs in at about 1,305 kg. On August 17th 2019 he completed his first orbit around the sun. Iconjar all your icons in one place 1 8 0.

The test flight mission was mainly to demonstrate the performance capabilities of the Falcon Heavy rocket, and its ability to operate as a reusable rocket. Starman and the Roadster was just the test payload of the rocket. Musk stated that the purpose of launching the car was to spread the message of one day spreading humanity to other planets, hopefully inspiring the world.

Where is the Tesla Roadster now?

It is --,---,--- (--,---,---) from home. How fast is it going? Currently Starman is travelling at --,--- (--,---, --) around the sun, which is - (-) every second. The fastest car ever! It's also going 20 km/hfaster every day.

The Roadster is currently moving away from Earth at a speed of about ---,--- (--,---) . Roughly every 2 years and 9 months the Roadster passes near Earth.

So far, the Roadster has made a couple of milestones in terms of planetary approaches, some of which include reaching its furthest distance from the Sun at 247 million km (1.655 AU) in October 2018, and a close approach to Mars in September 2019 at almost 100 million kilometers (0.65 AU).

Another close approach to Mars is set for October of 2020. Starman is currently --,---,--- (--,---,---) from the Red Planet. Interestingly, a 2018 study highlighted that there is a 6% chance of the Roadster colliding with the Earth over a 3 million year timespan, and a 3% chance that it will collide with Venus. In August 2019, Musk stated that someday, SpaceX may launch an additional spacecraft to follow the roadster for imaging.

Since midnight last night, he has travelled 163,000 km (101,000 mi) . Since you started looking at this page he has travelled 0 km (0 mi) .

The batteries on the Roadster have been empty since about 12 hours after launch, according to Elon Musk in a post-launch briefing at Kennedy Space Center, shortly after launch.

When will Starman's Tesla Roadster arrive at Mars?

Truly, any project of Elon Musks' can be expected to have some kind of bizarre quirk to it (like his tunnels under Los Angeles, or his flamethrowers), which is what makes them so exciting. Musk launching a car into space with a test dummy in it once again showed his eccentric and 'mad scientist' personality, boosting public appeal for the SpaceX organization as well as general interest in space exploration. Additionally, NASA officially declared the car to be a celestial object in their database.

However, Elon Musk didn't launch the Roadster with the intention of it being a marketing ploy for the Tesla company, or as a means to heighten his public image. Shortly after the launch, he discussed that the purpose of the stunt was to ultimately get people interested and enthusiastic in space exploration. His goal in his own words was for society 'to get excited about the possibility of something new happening in space — of the space frontier getting pushed forward.' Ever since the end of the Space Race of the mid-20th century, in which countries around the world went all in on going to the cosmos, the general interest of space exploration and astronomy has decreased—but thanks to minds like Elon Musk, that has started to change in recent years, and will continue to change.

He will miss Mars at a distance of about 7,500,000 (4,600,000), and arrive back in Earth's path by about December 2020. He's got a long way to go.

He is getting - (-) closer. Mars every second. Do you want to be eaten alive. A pretty brave achievement as Mars is flying ahead of him at quite some speed. Since last night he has gotten 163,000 km (101,000 mi) closer. Since you started looking at this page he got 163,000 km (101,000 mi) closer.

Starman Tracker Simulation

This simulation is tracking Starman and the Roadster in real time as it journeys through our solar system with scientific and physical accuracy. The simulation tracks moments from the beginning of the mission in February 2018, to future projected moments of the mission. With how popular 'Starman' and the Roadster already were, visualizations like these allow for the possibility of further sparking the enthusiasm of the public in human spaceflight.
