You said — “Ignoring the nonsensical response that no force was required in favor of reviewing the “forces” that did exist yields the following.”
You’ll notice that I said that there “is a scenario” in which no additional force was needed to make it float away — if — one were to just not hold onto it when the astronaut stopped or changed direction. It would float away on its own.
THEN, I also said that this *was not* the actual situation, from the video that was presented from NASA. I then went on to explain the video and how it *was* the astronaut that did this directly.
I said this, very specifically — “However, she gave it enough motion to not be within reaching distance when she reached back for it.”
It would appear that you’re just not reading correctly. I could tell that was the case with you from your first posting...
I got you. I thought you did a great job of explaining yesterday. It is all amazing to me.
