Your current post is too negative. Learn to be more positive.

I remember when Skylab deorbited and hit Australia. People were having fun with that event.

Well that is great. The track goes right over where I live at about 19:32 which is in the predicted window. I will be wearing my climbing helmet!

WE have to waste time and water washing garbage so the Insane can call it recycling and don’t talk about batteries
To: Red Badger
If I am doing the conversion correctly. the batteries would have gone overhead around 2:32 pm EST, about a half hour ago.

That would take an incredible amount of rocket fuel. You have to climb out of earth’s gravity well, then you have to negate all, or almost all, of the angular momentum associated with being in earth orbit.

If you launch the payload from space, it probably would take very much, would it?

EP9 is loaded with old Nickel-Hydrogen batteriesI worked on designing those Space Station Ni/H batteries. They're mostly hollow Inconel cylinders. Very light.
