Elon Musk's Tesla is going to enter India soon. In 2018, SpaceX sent Tesla Roadster into space, which has so far covered a distance of 5.63 lakh crore km.

New Delhi. Elon Musk's Tesla is very much discussed in India these days. Because, Tesla's entry is going to be done in India's car market in a short time. Elon Musk is known for his outspoken style. You know about his company Tesla, but do you know that Tesla's car runs not only on the ground but also in space? Yes! This is not a joke, this is true. So let us explain to you what the whole matter is.

Elon Musk's company Space X launched its powerful Falcon Heavy rocket in space on 6 February 2018. A Tesla roadster car with this rocket was sent to space with Starman Dummy. This car of Tesla has been traveling around the Sun since then and has covered a distance of about 5.63 lakh crore km.

Large -scale freight in space
The aim of Elon Musk behind launching this car was to display SpaceX's capabilities to the world. With this mission, Musk also showed that his company is capable of carrying out freight in space.

Car understood Esteroid
An interesting thing about the journey of this car is that it was recently considered an asteroid by mistake. The Minor Planet Center of the International Astronomical Association released a bulletin on 2 January, claiming the 2018 CN41 that it was a comet, making a round near the Earth.

Later it was discovered that this object actually matches the Falcon Heavy Upper Stage of Tesla Roadster. Spacex and astronomers are monitoring this car. For this, the company has also released a website called 'Ware Is Roadster.com'. This website follows the location of the car and calculates how much distance it has traveled.
