  • This would be a flyby, rather than orbiting, as that would take a lot more propellant. I’d assume they might use gravitational assist from Jupiter, but a more or less direct shot might be planned, not sure. 3I Atlas would be closest to Jupiter in early September, yes, coincidentally the same time Juno was expected to be deorbited. As far as achieving the velocity needed, there are some calculations yet to be done but apparently there could be enough propellant onboard to do it.

    I heard about the intercept idea through The Angry Astronaut’s youtube but there was a Congresswoman and some professors pushing it too.

  • I’ve got a friend who became Orthodox a few years before Russia even invaded Crimea in 2014, he does the fasts. They are hardcore. He’s a good guy and to see how politicized Orthodoxy has become the past decade or so makes me sad, he just believes it’s the correct church, as opposed to Catholicism or Protestants. I can’t say I agree with him but at least some of those Orthodox people are cool. Not all though, I’ve met some who were real tools, and any flavor of Christianity leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
