Now
Weird
The earth is fking round
sheeple sounds like that Russian scientist in a zombie apocalypse movie that has the cure but is stuck in his lab
@Kessler Syndrome why did they blow it up?
they didnt blow it up
they de-orbit'd it
So what happened
it was just the end of its mission, and they are cutting down on space debris, hence my name
so they de-orbit expired sats now
OK
well ESA do i dont know about NASA
NASA are bad for space debris
I dont understand why they wouldn't use parachutes or something
Alright, @Kessler Syndrome has been warned for '**Bad word usage**'.
they have terrible naming sense for operations
its cheaper to hurl it into the atmos
like really
Is that's safer
operation fishbowl
they de-orbit over point nemo in the pacific
its the largest patch of ocean in the world
very safe
i have seen a de-orbit myself, its quite spectacualr, you can hear it slightly as it comes lower
Couldn't they land it there instead though
Just seems a bit weird
they cant land it because of fuel issues, they need to expend a lot of energy to slow down
they dont have the budget for self landing sats
plus it costs a lot of money to re-purpose sats
its cheaper to build new ones
spaceX do retrieve some of their rocket, they bring back the main stage and land it for re-use
im yet to go and see that
its hard to slow down something travelling at 17,000 km/h
I learn new things here everyday
im probably the best person to aks when it comes to orbital mechanics and such, if you have any questions ill try my best to give simple answers

The Prophet's Vision of the Divine Glory
<1> Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. <2> In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoi´achin's captivity, <3> the word of the Lord came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chalde´ans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was there upon him. <4> And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. <5> Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. <6> And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. <7> And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the color of burnished brass. <8> And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. <9> Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. <10> As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. ```
