Burt hasn’t come close to reaching orbit, and he probably never will. He goes straight up and then comes straight down. He needs to go straight up about twice as high as he has gone thus far, and then he needs to accelerate sideways 17,500 miles per hour to get to orbit.
Not that I’m disrespecting what he has accomplished, because he’s a cool guy and I like his style, but he’s nowhere near orbit, much less reentry.
or even to deorbit them on purpose to open up spots for working sats
