Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster might crash back into Earth after space launch and land him in a lot of trouble

Elon Musk thought it would be ‘silly’ to send his personal Tesla Roadster into space during a SpaceX test launch

A legal expert in all things space has explained how Elon Musk could land himself in real trouble if his Tesla Roadster floating through space crash lands back into Earth.

And the possibility of it happening is not just one of theory. It could actually happen based off of trajectory.

Musk and SpaceX launched Musk’s personal Roadster in to space back in February 2018 as part of a test flight

Strapped to the SpaceX rocket as a dummy payload, the South African billionaire wanted to use the ‘silliest’ thing he could think of with the test only having a 50 percent chance of being a success.

Well, it worked. And to this day, the very real Tesla car remains floating around the planet complete with a mannequin in the driver’s seat dressed in a SpaceX astronaut’s spacesuit and a copy of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in the glove box.

There is even a Hot Wheels version of the Roadster attached to the dashboard area.

And while the car is currently closer to the Sun that Earth after travelling at a staggering 3,988 miles per hour (mph).

But last month, one amateur astronomer thought they saw what was an asteroid that seemed to be passing very close to Earth.
