Or a more achievable but still impressive "Secure a second mannequin in the passenger seat" challenge.
One of the most sought after achievements in the Awesome-Life-App (Think now to download the app into your Goozonpple Cortex Storage®).
The Japanese space agency did something similar a few years ago. They sent a probe to an asteroid that was passing near our planet, and collected some samples back to Earth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayabusa
Hayabusa was an active probe that had working thrusters capable of changing its orbit. Elon Musk’s car is an inert hunk of plastic and metal at this point, without as much as a communication link back to Earth.
I think the analogy was between the car and the asteroid.
I want them to bring one of the rovers back first. How cool would it be to see Opportunity or Curiosity at the Smithsonian.
Would require lifting it off a planet, that's a lot of energy. You'll just have to visit the Martian Smithsonian.
Grab sojourner then, haha. That'd be carry on luggage.
And Elon drives it off the landing pad :)
The bigger miracle being Elon capable of driving in some 75 years :P
If there's anyone who will "solve" old age, my money is on him
Why?
Possibly because he has over 20 billion dollars and a knack for getting problems solved by using it
I'd say Mars. Having it already in Earth orbit would make it more cost effective to hook it to a Mars mission. Also, being 100% electric I'm sure they would find a way to make it useable on Mars. Just imagine watching some pilot doing stunts in a reduced gravity.
It's not on Earth orbit. That's the whole point. It's in a heliocentric orbit with an apihelion out past Mars and a perihelion inside earth's orbit.
