Very cool, thanks! It's closer than I thought, yet just too far to see it unless it's causing things to happen around it. I suppose if it would crash (slowly :p

Very cool, thanks! It's closer than I thought, yet just too far to see it unless it's causing things to happen around it. I suppose if it would crash (slowly :p) into the earth and you were at 67 kilometers you'd see some crazy things.
- TeMPOraL 5y agoWorth remember for comparison that the Kármán line is at 100 kilometers. ISS orbits at ~400 kilometers. So, if such a hole were to appear on the surface of the planet, even the crew of the ISS would have a very bad day.
- vladTheInhaler 5y agoWell the ISS orbits at R_earth + 400 km. So it wouldn't be nearly as bad as that number makes it sound.
