It is impossible to be “stranded” in an LEO. Dictionary please!

It’s a test to see how many Starlink satellites they can knock out in the future.

Maybe they just need to send somebody up to relight the fuse.

Skylab was fun! Let’s all get a jab, put on helmets, drink beer, and watch the sky. See who catches the debris field show.

Why would they be sending a “simulated” payload to orbit.
Just to test the engines??
I guess we will see how simulated it is when it re-enters.

Just send Sandra Bullock to handle it.

She’s been through LEO before.

“so some bits may reach Earth surface.”

It is reassuring that it's only bits. A decent baseball glove ought to do it.

Dummy payload? That’s a very suspiciously neutral description. I’ll bet they would not spend that kind of money to send up a “dummy”. This is likely a cover for a failed launch of a classified payload. Hope it’s not dangerous.

Sure. So it's stranded right there where it can EMP any one any time.

Looks like a mission for Space Force. Lets have a look under the payload fairing, shall we?
