aka Memel Territory

Hydra, 'meme' means 'boob' in my mother language. I think, you'd appreciate that happy accident too? "Boobal Territory."

Huh, I guess I can say I have ancestors from the Memeland Coast... I like that.

Good soldiers follow orders.

They should crash it into this dum-dum's house instead.

That's a lot of mass to accelerate out of low Earth orbit.

That's a lot of mass to accelerate out of low Earth orbit.

ISS = 980,208 lbs (444,615 kg)
2019 Honda Accord LX = 3,131 lbs (1,420 kg)

So it's the equivalent of dropping 313 cars out of an airplane into the ocean.  I've seen worse.

Fun fact: the crash site is Point Nemo, a remote area in the south Pacific, chosen as a dumping site because it's as far away from land as possible.
Not so fun fact: Point Nemo is very close to the fictional (maybe) underwater city of R'lyeh, where dread Cthulhu lies dreaming.  And with strange aeons...

Maybe the whole point of dumping spacecraft there is because of the paucity of land which contains people. If the debris falls on Cthulu, may he rise to our doom! Though that will not be likely to happen. Apologies to H.P. Lovecraft.

Hydra, we have to add the fuel used for the boost? And the trips up there to add the boosters and fill the fuel tanks?

The average person has neither the intellect nor the capacity to understand the math of sending a rocket into space. Not that it is necessary to understand the math, but to appreciate it. The average human does not even understand the speed of which the world spins…nor how it would effect the flight of a rocket much less the calculations being used because of it. My wife thinks that rockets are “diverted” east to secretly land in the Bermuda Triangle…….seriously. She was rather flummoxed  that I could  even present a reasonable point to it.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Yeah, but I was hopin' for an back of the napkin estimate.

Apologies to H.P. Lovecraft.

You really don't have to.

Lots of people are racist. Not everybody writes poetry about it.
