minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish9•5 months agoYeah we probably should start being more careful about dumping our spacecraft, but not sure the ISS is the one to experiment on.

Extra fuel needs aside, if you park it higher and it breaks up…
You mean when it breaks up…
Just push it out of orbit and it’ll float away.
“Into another environment?”
It’ll be beyond the environment.
Into another environment?
“No, no, it’ll be boosted beyond the environment. It’ll not be in the environment.”
But it must be somewhere… Well what’s out there?
That’s not how it works, it would take an insane amount of fuel to get it out of Earth’s gravity well.
