Sideways. Still functional, but in somewhat limited capacity.
- adityaathalye 2y agoSo... the mission literally went sideways? Yet, our indomitable heroes saved the day! Jokes apart, I think anybody getting anything off the ground and out of the planetary gravity well are heroes. It's kind of wild how... mundane... rocketry has become. Between that and always-on nearly-free global video calling from a smart watch, I feel like I'm living in the future of some of the 1950s SciFi books I read as a kid. "Kings of Space" by Capt. W. E. Johns comes to mind. The smell of that old paperback copy I have transports me to another time.
