Would it help if the station was in geosynchronous orbit

I think it would be cold I don’t know would a human size piece of space debris burn up?

Do rockets aim straight up as they try to leave earth, why don’t they burn up on exit too

The weight of the device let’s say is 20 bananas and so that makes 2 fit astronauts and a stoner. Nobody knows why the stoner was on the space station to begin with.

If you fall straight down so I guess that means straight down is still like 24000 mph or whatever the earth is rotating… but if you slow yourself down would you still burn up?

What is it that makes you “burn up” on reentry? Is any of that avoided if you can decelerate yourself from going sideways… apologies I don’t know what to call it but you are like a baseball at that point going sideways across the yard relative to flat ground on earth I think.

Edit: that’s really cool though if you are saying we only need a few backpacks of oxygen to burn ourselves up though

Right but we have the oxygen. Which direction should we jump? If we jumped forward we wouldn’t run into it again but we could get further away faster if we jumped away I think

Im trying to answer my question but I’m obviously not smart enough

Are you the stoner? One of you can be Neil degrass Tyson? That physics dude… Astro or even heck it could be Stephen hawking or anyone you probably need Superman to be one of the friends present okay we have to assume the people are strapped together and can hold the magic device lol no X-men, unless is that cool marvel guy who is like the flash in the dc universe

I was trying to link to a comment in the thread

Someone made a random post and it’s Saturday night and I think I can ask anything here the article is political I guess or about current events let me know if I need to redo the post and how to link to comments… should it be a screenshot of the comments instead maybe so you can’t see the original post?

for you to survive the journey. If you could somehow spray the oxygen to get you close enough to Earth to use the parachute and land safely, how would you do it?

Edit: and how much oxygen would it take to spray, would you need to use to oxygen to slow your decent? This is assuming the amount of oxygen you have would be the same amount required before you naturally deorbited like a junk satellite or something. So like, you don’t have any food so you wouldn’t make it that long, but that’s how much oxygen you magically have…. Could you make it out alive? And how?

Edit 2: one of you has a cool clipboard and space pen that astronauts have that you can do math with.

Edit 3: one of you is a stoner.

Edit 4: if the space station was in geosynchronous orbit, could an astronaut jump down off of it?

Is it worse to go sideways into the atmosphere or straight down?

(Assuming you had the however many years of oxygen with you to make the journey, etc.)

I assume it would be better to just stay on the station and enjoy the sunsets and moonrises and I bet you get random eclipses too

Just asking because… if I have the oxygen maybe I could use it to lower my velocity of orbit or whatever speed that high is called until I fall straight down.

I don’t know how velocity works if I was going sideways at 17,000 mph and I sprayed the oxygen in front of me I would probably start to fall faster immediately that’s weird gravity and shit, I don’t know the correlation between gravity and speed

10 mph per second … per second? It accelerates so maybe close enough

Western media lies and Venezuela (fair.org)
 

Pretty awesome article with links on the history of western media propaganda and outright lies and support of multiple coup attempts on Maduro.
