Pinky:   Egad! Brain, so what do you suppose they make satellites from?  Like that Vejer one from the space movie?


Brain:   I'm not sure Pinky, we'll have to consult the Interweb Infinite source of Knowledge.

Pinky:  whass that Brain?

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.

PS:  If the Tesla crashed into Ceres and landed in Cerian ice, then
could it rust?????

     First, I'm a computer science major and a spacecraft system
     engineer.
     So.
     But with no oxygen there is probably no rust. But radiation will
     eventually breakdown the metal structure, causing it to become
     brittle
     and fracture. Ionization. But it's not quick. Electronics are more
     susceptible to this, which is why we must fly RAD-hardened
     electronics, avionics and science instruments. Humans, going beyond
     our magnetosphere (1m miles out) will be susceptible to intense
     radiation, as it will breakdown human DNA and cause rapid cancer.
     Which is why Elon is NOT signing up for his trip to Mars! Smart. ;-)
     On another note, we calculated the trajectory of the spaceship
     Tesla,
     and it might come close to the dwarf planet Ceres, where our Dawn
     spacecraft is now. We don't want anything impacting Ceres until we
     can
     send a lander there and investigate Occator crater and that white
     stuff. Ceres has LOTS of water!!

     Rover Status - Wheels On Mars: A presentation I've always wanted to
     give to POCA. We are closely monitoring wheel damage. These wheels
     were milled from blocks of solid aluminum, but are super thin. This
     was done to reduce mass, to escape the gravity well we call Earth.
     But
     the pointy lava rock on the way up Mt Sharp has done some major
     damage.
     We are now building Mars2020, here at JPL. It's the next rover. A
     test
