Elon Musk’s Space-flying Tesla Roadster and its Starman pilot could be on a collision course to Earth, experts say. The SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, that launched last February, is now barreling through space with its dummy payload of the car and its “driver” beyond the orbit of Mars. However, there is said to be a “significant possibility” it could crash into Venus or Earth. In a joint research paper, published under the title of 'The random walk of cars and their collision probabilities with planets', scientists predict Starman’s journey over the next few million years. They find that Earth, Venus and the Sun are the three most likely crash targets, the Daily Express reported. Meanwhile, collisions with Mercury and Mars are the least likely outcome. And this is the same for Jupiter’s gravity catapulting the vehicle out of the solar system. However, there is no need to start panicking just yet as if it does happen, it will not be for another … [Read more...] about Elon Musk’s Space-flying Tesla Roadster could crash into Earth, experts warn

This much is certain about Tesla Inc.’s earnings report on Wednesday: It won’t be boring.The electric-car maker will release its first set of results since Elon Musk grew exasperated with questions, including whether the company needed more capital, back in May.
