One correction: I said off the cuff the orbit would decay over the coming days to weeks. It’s actually years – reentry timing has high uncertainty, but estimates center around summer 2025. Primary driver of orbital decay is drag from tiny remnants of Earth’s atmosphere.

Atmospheric density exponentially decays with altitude, but the decay rate at orbital altitudes depends on solar activity, making long-term predictions difficult.

SO GO FOR THE PINNACLE...GO FOR #OMNIVERSE TO GET TO THOSE INFINITE CLUSTERS OF MEGAVERSES......BOTTOMLINE.....WE WILL IMMINENTLY REACH OUT AND TRANS MIGRATE AND STARTING THE INTERSTELLAR MULTIPLANETARY HUMAN CIVILIZATIONAL SETTLEMENTS

Can you explain why removing mass reduces propellant usage for stationkeeping? More mass reduces your dV, but it should also reduce decay proportionally, correct? The drag force has only to do with surface characteristics, not mass.

We could recycle that material here. No need to use outer space like a garbage bin.

Aye, but what of the dreams we still need? The city lights below, stars above, and a heart that soars in between... Ain't no robot arm can replace these things.

Why are we adding to the space junk problem?

Wonder how many of those are just floating around
