23 I'm going to be that guy. The "SpaceX rocket" video from yesterday is not what it was at all. All the pics on the web flipped the image so it looked like the debris was falling. It was RISING, as clearly shown by this video. It was something else. posted 3 years ago by WinsAnon 3 years ago by WinsAnon +27 / -4 https://twitter.com/rainygay1/status/1375301321075552256?s=21 9 comments share 9 comments share save hide report block hide replies
It only appears to be rising, because it isn't falling that fast, and it's moving away from the observer.
Also, observers can calculate the orbit of the thing, and calculate the orbit of the SpaceX stage after it was discarded, and see that they are the same.
