SpaceX launched the Roadster into space more than a year and a half ago, and experimenters are still thinking about the fate of the Starman doll sitting behind the wheel.
The CEO of the company Elon Musk in a tweet on the site «Twitter» that the company will launch a small spacecraft in the coming years to inspect the driver of the car, in response to a question asked by one of his followers on the site about the possibility of launching a vehicle to take pictures of Starman, as reported «Observatory of the Future» in Dubai.
“Musk did not provide any further details about the new mission or its significance, but the timing is unlikely to be random. It could be part of a larger mission, or maybe Starman will come to an ideal location to take pictures with him. ».
Musk may not be worried about Starman's distance from Earth at the time of the SpaceX encounter, but if so, the best date for a photo is probably when he becomes 51 million kilometers from Earth in November 2020.
But it is certain - no matter how important timing is in Mask's plans - that the Starman doll will not be the last.
