2021-05-07 at 5:38 PM UTC in Muh saturnite ears!I keep misreading this thread as "saturnine ears" and I'm left confused by its meaning. And then I realize it says "saturnite ears", and I remain confused.

The Tertiary zone will barely cover Chicago area with 2-5 feet of ash, However the Secondary Zone will hover above for awhile and then re-settle again down hard covering most central and east coast with up to 20 feet in more finite ash.like talcum powder

Originally posted by Quick Mix Ready once again, queer. G's map is showing the payload and not the rocket itself. it is following the ISS at twice the speed to catch up.. it has cold gas thrusters to slow it down to dock with the ISS
It wasn't being delivered to the ISS... it was the core module of the Tiangong Space Station, which is intended to orbit at ~370km (read: 1.5x the altitude of the ISS). The page G linked is tracking the altitude of the object, which is currently ~265km (and falling). It's not tracking the payload, which was delivered and remains at 370km. -

You literally think the thing G linked is a "controlled orbital trajectory" because you don't understand map projections. Whatever, you're beyond helping.
You're right. Jeff Hunter tasked me with leading you astray but clearly he didn't anticipate the vasty depths of your orienteering and rocket science knowledge. I've failed. -

Fun fact, the Earth is a sphere and maps are not. The only map projection in which a straight line travelled across the surface of the Earth appears as a straight line on a map is this:
If you are using any other map projection, plotting any straight path will result in a curved line.

Originally posted by Quick Mix Ready HTS. boosters are ExR. the fucking fall off before 40-60 miles up and downrange. this entire rocket used a single stage without having external boosters. thats what makes it dangerous and unpredictable. it had 3 rocket mains, and a detachable payload pod. the pod detatched and that entire building size assembly is spinning uncontrollably in low orbital space aka L.O.S.
Tell me what you think "spinning uncontrollably" means in this context, because I'll give you a hint... it doesn't mean its trajectory is changing. Protip: this is what a straight flight from Tokyo to LA looks like when projected onto a 2D map.

Originally posted by Quick Mix Ready thats a controlled orbital trajectory youre showing ..this is out of control
What makes you think that's controlled? What do you think "out of control" means in terms of orbit? It's means its orbital trajectory can't be adjusted, and in this case that the orbit is decaying. Are you confused by the pattern it's moving in? Because that's an artifact of:
A) Earth's rotation.
B) The booster's orbital velocity.
and
C) The fact that it's being projected onto a flat, 2-D map.
The booster orbits the earth every 90 minutes or so. The Earth rotates underneath it in that time, so the next time it goes around the planet it's going over a different part of the planet. When you project that orbital trajectory onto a 2D projection of a 3D spherical object, you get wavy lines. It's not going to move in a straight line over that 2D map, and it's not going to follow the same path each time it goes from one side of the map to the other.
It's the same thing that happens with maps of where solar eclipses will be visible from.

Originally posted by lickalotapuss I believe we were yelling at each other alot. But yes I’m glad we came to a mutual understanding we need to start a new life without being married to each. I believe we get along better as friends than we do husband and wife. But after knowing you for 20+ years 4years of marriage wasn’t the worst but it also was not the best either. It could of been better. But I’m not mad at you. We both seem to be getting along alot better apart now anways.
