No, that is not how any of that works. Only the people in space need air or air pressure to keep them alive. Inflated things in space will expand because there is not any outside air pressure.

What about temperature impacts to the pressure. Extreme cold would cause pressure to drop right?

Yes, there is practically no pressure in space. The low temp makes this even more so.

So on a car that has tires in space. What would happen to the tires? How would the expanding tire versus space cold brittle tires. Would it pop or shatter? I don't think it would do anything right away. But would crack and pop or just leak fairly soon. Most tires are only rated for 50,000 miles.

I think we have project for a YouTube video. Launch tires into space on balloons to see which "lasts longer." I mean what consumer wouldn't want the best. /s

The balloons are very low pressure in comparison to the tires. Plus not brittle.

Hey look, you are killing my jokes and making me look stupid. Take your big brain to r/science.

The tires are probably cosmetic.

No, that's not how space works.

There is a lack of pressure in space rather than extreme pressure. If there was air trapped anywhere in the car, in would try to find a way out and explode out if it couldn’t.

Imagine a balloon. In space, the balloon wouldn’t collapse, rather, it would inflate until it popped.

I hope this is helpful.

It's the pressure of launch that is the bigger concern. The shuttles had giant bays that they could open up to release satellites and the like (like a big convertible). I would also guess that they welded/secured everything in place just to make sure nothing went haywire during launch and release.

It's the opposite problem. Subs need to keep external pressure out, in space you need to keep pressure in. The latter is actually much easier than the former.

I am pretty sure they removed any bits that would not work in a vacuum. Sealed batteries and such. Highly doubt that car is operational.

Next year when it comes by earth Branson's going to get up there to steal it.

They should steal the stereo at the very least.

The paint would be so effed by radiation after... 5 minutes

it will be nice to see it on mars and laugh at the ridiculousness we are told to believe.

You don't believe in radiation?

That's how you know it is fake... cause it isn't going to Mars

The Tesla is not going to land on or orbit Mars. It is going to stay in an elliptical orbit around the sun. The furthest point of the solar orbit will reach about the distance where Mars orbits the sun. https://i.imgur.com/8t1KVeV.png

Interesting how the music is playing but it can't be heard due to the vacuum of space.. what horrible irony.

You made up that bullshit because you don't know anything about the subject.

Been to space have you?

Does anyone else think that these live feeds are filmed in a controlled area of the deep sea? Perhaps Antarctica?

If anything would be that deep in the ocean, anything would be crushed to bits by all the pressure. I just don’t think it’s practical but I may be wrong. Be I do know there’s a lot of pressure the further you go down.

All I know is it's possible to send humans down to the ocean floor, and that was in the 1960s. I'm sure technology has advanced ebough to let us operate at those depths much more effectively.

At one atmospheric pressure every 33.3ft you would be correct. Much easier for that thing to exist in space than deep sea.

Nah, you are right. Its not like my dad is a Aerospace Engineer that worked for multuple defense contractors, including NASA for a few years. I wouldn't know any going about it. You are right.

No, just knew Alan Shepherd personally
