- testoo 3y agoi was wondering too! Do you think it might be because of citing family as a source? I barely ever post here, so don't have a good muscle memory for norms and best practices. (also both scared and curious of what might result from dropping below 0 karma)
- richrichie 3y agoJust ignore it. You will get used to some hyper sensitive HN people that will down vote an apple because it is red.
- icehawk 3y agoIs it though? A vehicle can't use a gravity-assist slingshot around the Sun to maneuver inside the solar system because the sun is at rest with respect to the rest of the solar system.
- testoo 3y agohey icehawk -- so you can use any celestial object in the solar system to maneuver; all you're doing is basically changing your direction. But you're right, there's something strange going on here. The original article doesn't actually have any information about what this spacecraft is doing, but it links to another one about the speed. I'm looking at that now, gonna add an addendum (or edit the old comment if i can figure out how to do that)
