How about you let communities take care of their own and give me my money back so I can actually help the homeless dude down the street?

@ping No, you're not thinking large enough

@Revan But then we would have to pressurize those ships/buildings

what?

And if we tried, I feel like it would go poorly.

I'm talking about things bigger than a mile

yeah even then

we can do that in LEO

The fuck is LEO

low earth orbit

Ah

There's still a larger risk of it falling out of LEO than falling out of LLO (Low Lunar Orbit) though

Someone's been playing lots of KSP.

Ksp is great

I've never played but I want to get it one day.

And I have way too many hours in that game.

KSP is fun, I got bored quickly.

@Revan how the fuck is it going to fall out of LEO

@Dionara mods.

All the mods

if I wanna play a modded game in space, I'd play Space Engineers.

Don't stop modding until your computer flat out gets up and walks away

when i go from KSP to SE it makes me depressed

because no orbital mechanics :(

@ping The same way anything falls out of any orbit. It gets too heavy for the speed it's moving

@Revan no.

@ping you do know orbital decay is a thing right?

^

Don't we have to constantly push the ISS back into the correct orbit?

^

*Unlike what the Chinese did with Taidong*

Fucking slanty-eye nerds, can't even keep things in space.

@Grenade123 i'm aware but it's minimal

Basically every supply mission involves a little boost back into orbit

the ISS is very low

so it needs more of a push

much heavier objects are a lot more prectible because of their mass

It's like the ISS is slowly dozing off to sleep, but we slap it and yell **WAKE UP**

their orbits will degrade a slower

Yes, its orbit would degrade slower, but it would degrade even more slowly in low lunar orbit
