I'm happy to report that "Scenario 2" won't be necessary, as NASA has just communicated to us that SciX funding will continue in 2026 (albeit at a reduced level). Therefore, we will not be forcing astronomers to leave ADS, but rather develop a plan that allows a longer transition.

It’s not just that all of these are in fact ordinary comet behaviors, but none of them are alien spacecraft behaviors.

My dentist asked me about it.

Great piece!

I say this only because if you aren’t counting on drag from earth’s atmosphere then the orbit won’t change. You will just be in a slightly elliptical orbit.

I think you want a Hohmann transfer orbit. You apply delta v (your legs) to slow down so that you are in an elliptical orbit that on its longest axis is the space station and the shortest axis is the earth’s radius. I strongly suspect you need a rocket to eat enough delta V.

So those are pretty low temperatures, If I’m reading it right. Very interesting

Great work!

My mom and dad used to have roast duck for Thanksgiving, until one day I came home from nursery school and it had to be turkey from then on.
