"...accelerating the probe to a meager 9.2 centimeters per second relative to the asteroid (slower than a snowflake falls on Earth), but that was enough to give it enough velocity to escape"
That is pretty insane.
- jansan 7y agoWithout gravity and atmosphere you can do pretty neat tricks with very little energy.
- perl4ever 7y agoTo me, the amazing thing is not how little gravity it has, but how much. I mean, if you look around on Earth, at a hill/small mountain about 3000 feet high, it's weird to think that has enough gravity you could in theory stand on the underside.
