And then…the car missed. Instead of settling into Mars’ orbit, it flew off into space to God knows where, a tiny insignificant red speck floating forever in the vast, anonymous darkness of the universe.

Fake News.

SpaceX knows the exact orbit. What SpaceX did was to use all the propellant to see how far they could go. The intent was never to go directly to Mars or the Mars orbit, but to go at least that far.

At least it wasn’t a Mercury.

It would be confusing to have TWO of them in orbit!
