What's this?

"Science" just needs to quit...

NASA says this: "The research, which can be read on the arXiv repository, notes that the two celestial satellites are only separated by approximately 1,150 miles, but they never get within 2,200 miles of one another, orbiting at slightly different speeds."

Uhh, wut?

I think it means their orbital paths are separated by 1,150 miles... -- MP4VT2004 11/18/2019 12:59PM

Seems weird to think that out of a billion orbits, not one of them -- psychobilly 11/18/2019 2:16PM

Does Elon plan to land it on a long stretch of Interstate? ** -- EDGEMAN 11/19/2019 07:56AM

Yeah, probably...just funny -- JoesterVT 11/18/2019 1:05PM

Yeah, the way it was worded was definitely incorrect. -- MP4VT2004 11/18/2019 2:25PM

Yep, that's the way I read it, but who knows? ** -- UTPr0sim 11/18/2019 1:02PM
