Dear Julian,
Uh-oh. If that is correct, then Terry will need to check
with the JPL about the sensitivity or resistance of carbon fiber to
space radiation! At least it won't rust if it encounters the Cerian
water reservoirs.
This is getting interesting. Thanks for that detail.
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

I would think not as you still need oxygen for it to rust. Look at some
of
the things found very very deep in the oceans where there is very little
oxygen. Not as rusty as one would think.

Dear Terry and Larry,
Thank you very much for your replies.
Larry-- Egad, I forgot about the warranty coverage!
You're right.
Terry--I would be eager to hear your "Wheels on Mars"
presentation at the Fun Rally.
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
PS: If the Tesla crashed into Ceres and landed in Cerian ice, then
could it rust?????
