What's this?

Seems weird to think that out of a billion orbits, not one of them

would be both in their closest point on their orbital path at the same time.

After SpaceX launched that Tesla into space, i played with the simulator it had to see when it would ever be close enough again to spot with a telescope....not in our lifetime.

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
