And the second worst decision was shooting a shitty car into space.

I don't have a moral judgement on that but I agree with one microbiologist who spoke about it. It is the single most influential event in the history of all life on earth.

Because it won't just crash into a planet or zip off to nowhere it will just orbit for who knows how long. Breaking apart by outgassing and random microimpacts. Containing who knows how many protected and suspended bacteria and fungal spores. Pieces will reach every major body eventually. Including ones that can support life, such as Europa.

The impact of this event could stretch out for billions of years. Long after the sun ruins the inner planets the outer moons could still support life.

So billions of years from now, millions of light years away, there could be 'intelligent' life forms on another planet that evolved from bacteria on elon's unwashed poop hands?

I imagine it would be more likely the stuff inside like the cushions but yeah.
