  • No, it was not an example of a station station that doesn’t orbit. It was an example of a mobile space station. I agree it would be baffling to read my comment that way.

    Here is a rewording if that helps: You could jump off of a station station without worrying about orbital velocity if it wasn’t orbiting. To have a space station that doesn’t orbit, it would have to be a space station with engines, so that it can cancel that velocity. For an example of a station station that has engines, you can look at the Death Star.


  • Yes it orbits in the movies, that doesn’t conflict with anything I said. I’m describing a scenario where it doesn’t (which doesn’t happen in the movies).

    A space station with the ability to achieve orbital speeds on it’s own power means it can also negate orbital speeds, before you jump off. And presumably regain them afterwards, if it doesn’t want to also plummet down to the planet.













  • It box says “Gaming Copilot is watching YouTube”, where “YouTube” is the name of the browser tab that was open when that screenshot was taken.

    The dialog basically says “Gaming Copilot is watching [your currently opened app/tab]”.

    The text being cut off is making it look funny, but sadly no, no one wrote that message.
