- quelsolaar 6y agoDon't disparage ASCII art. The very internet you used to make this comment has most of its protocol's defined in ASCII art (See RFCs). Its the back-of-the-napkin of the engineers who created the internet age. ;-)
- TeMPOraL 6y agoIt's based on what happened in 2009 (pictures linked in the comment), some familiarity with orbital mechanics, as well as the rest of discussion in this thread. There are a bunch of subthreads here that show people have a hard time imagining how a head-on collision in space would play out; this is an attempt to put it in a more visual form.
- FriendlyNormie 6y agoNo, it’s based on you never shutting the fuck up.
