is/was, so it ought to be the strongest area of the car).


Yeah I would expect that the Li ion battery pack is probably not
"space-rated" and would be wisely left out...

How do car tires deal with space vacuum? Is it launched with them largely
under-inflated? I'd expect they'd "go flat" anyway eventually.

Looks like a convertible, so no need to worry about keeping the windows
rolled down. (That's a joke. Well, unless he was launching an early 60's
version of a Volkswagen Beetle! Closing the doors in one of those
routinely made my ears pop!).
