Maybe they will feed Biden the story Rather makes up knowing he will spill it. Great disinformation tactic.

Nope, just happened to see it.
Refueling satellites saves billions of dollars.
Bio suits means one thing - Nasty fuels. Nowm they COULD be handling nuclear fuel to refuel some power cells on some satellites. My bet is hydrazine-like fuels.

Anything lower than 90 minutes requires a lot of input power because of the atmosphere and that's... well. I'll let you calc the orbit. A cook can do it.

It depends on the height.
GPE = KE
—> mgh = (1/2)mv^2
—> h = (1/2)/9.81*(7600m/s)^2 = 2944km = 1829 miles orbital height from the center of the Earth

pretty impressive, chuck.

I was mainly pinging Jack. He and I don't always agree, but he is pretty smart.
And if you mention something like dead... or hit... It is good form to ping the persons that may or may not be involved.
Or hydrazine.

So much for the myth that the American government is outsourcing space to private companies.
Everyone watch the Dragon, (not what we’re REALLY doing).

1829 miles orbital height from the center of the EarthIsn't that inside rock? Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just a cook.

Paging Dan Rather, maybe he can make up some story about what they did. The plan is to have Geraldo crack open the cargo hold on live TV.
To: P.O.E.
Taking pictures of me peeing out in the yard, no doubt.

“More likely due to presence of hydrazine “
A friend of mine had a hydrazine injection system on his race car in the mid 50s.
It was really kind of neet stuff!!!!
