David Brin sez... (Off-Topic)
This is an opportunity to write science fiction. ;)
He's having a quick-short story contest for "the best very short Sci Fi story about how aliens or future folk might find and misinterpret Elon's Starman Tesla" - if you're feeling cynical, maybe write about it and win something! :)

Due to third burn lasting too long, Starmans orbit sends him into the asteroid belt, colliding with an asteroid changing its orbit. Asteroid collides with Earth decades later knocking it into the sun. Thanks a lot, Elon!
