A team from the University of Toronto made a simulation of the Tesla Roadster's trajectory in space, which indicates that there might be a slight chance it will hit Earth over the next million years.
SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket recently launched a red Tesla Roadster into orbit toward Mars.
According to a new study predicting the car's future path, the Roadster will be roughly one lunar distance away from the planet in 2091.
Over the next million years, it then has a 2.5% chance of hitting Venus, and a 6% chance of crashing into Earth. However, if does come crashing into the planet, it will likely burn up in the earth's atmosphere before reaching the surface.
RUNDOWN SHOWS:
1. Tesla Roadster with Starman in space
2. Roadster will be one lunar distance from Earth in 2091
3. Probability of Roadster crashing into Venus and Earth
4. Roadster burning up in Earth's atmosphere
