I was thinking no problem with the DNA being preserved then wondered what the cosmic radiation would do.
They talk about a million year orbit but would anything be left of the space vehicle?

With all the cosmic rays, cometary dust and Solar wind, it will look as pristine as 'Oumuamua after a while.

Mind your speakers...sucker takes a while to get moving.....
This was one of the shots from NASA - they did a nice job in The Earth to the Moon for that first look when they first orbited.

They have a Flickr account with images in the public domain. I assume that means they can be printed and framed.

Falcon 9 departing from platform SLC-40, and destined to transfer a fully laden Dragon capsule for the ISS, within the hour. No attempt to land or catch the 1st stage, this time. Usual link applies.
