| Jan 9, 2018 at 14:07 | comment | added | motosubatsu | @PearsonArtPhoto which makes sense really.. after all the car isn't intended to do anything once it's up there so there really isn't any point in spending the money/weight protecting it. | |

If that were the case it would be utterly wrecked by 100 years exposure to micro meteorites and other debris. Plus the near-vacuum of space will probably evaporate off all the lubrication from any exposed suspension/steering joints. Basically it will be junk after 100 years. | |
