Tesla Roadster hurtling toward deep space right now, the first payload of SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket
On Earth, a powerful magnetic field and the atmosphere largely protect humans (and Tesla Roadsters) from the harsh radiation of the sun and cosmic rays. But objects in space have no such protections.
All of the organics will be subjected to degradation by the various kinds of radiation that you will run into there.
According to the Washington Post, eventually, the Roadster would probably be reduced to just its well-secured inorganic parts: the aluminum frame, internal metals and any glass parts that don’t shatter under meteor impacts.
A NASA database includes our solar system's eight planets and their moons, more than 755,000 asteroids, 3,500 comets -- and, as of this week, one cherry red sports car that belonged to a Silicon Valley billionaire.
Test flights typically have a dummy payload, such as a big hunk of metal, so that nothing important or expensive is damaged if the rocket blows up.
The roadster is headed for orbit around the sun. Its path will take it as far away as Mars, and, later, as close to the sun as the Earth.
Let's see what Elon Musk thinks going forward....

Tesla Roadster is rolling into space now, the first charge of the Falcon Heavy SpaceX rocket - can it really be the best @futureentech
This is something which is really astonishing. This will era in the field of exploring the space. Space is enough hazardous to break human into pieces in a span of a minute or two.
