Several cameras appear to be mounted to the vehicle, so it’s likely that video of its insertion into what Musk said will be a “billion year elliptical Mars orbit” will be released afterward.

Imagine some alien ship, exploring our solar system 50,000 years from now, coming upon the sight of a red convertible orbiting Mars. A real WTF moment.

Yep, what you said. If it is placed in a good orbit it may be there for a very long time and no doubt will have a WTF moment or two.

I think Musk is having an inside joke and paying a little Homage to the movie Heavy Metal.
