Would that be different? Is there any benefit to burning up the batteries in a HTV vs letting them drop?

- geerlingguy 3y agoControl - the HTV is automated to descend with a preset profile, so it would not just come down at random after a bunch of orbits.
- dotancohen 3y agoThe current tragedy has the batteries just minutes away from hitting London or Berlin. A controlled reentry would be much further from large population centres.
- sokoloff 3y agoIs the current event a tragedy? It seems maybe a tragedy in the literary genre sense of the word more than in the disastrous event sense of the word.
- dotancohen 3y agoThat's what I get for typing on a phone with autocorrect. The word should have been "trajectory" though I concede that I may have spelled that incorrectly enough for the autocorrect to mistake the word.
