really wonderfull
Yes ‚indeed
That wouldn’t be a fly, probably just a peice of dirt or something .
Well done guys!!! 🙂
Iff you had a heat shield layer in your space suit you could just jump out and parachute down
Yes but you need to retro fire against the orbit direction, which requires a lot of energy and precise calculation. You can’t just jump and expect to fall down, you need to de-orbit to get out of the orbit and enter the earth’s atmosphere at a precise angle.
There is no garment out there that can withstand that amount of heat generated through re-entry. And you need to be facing in a direction that will not cause tumbling and fatal oscillations.
