@neiltyson@Hayabusa09 Thought that was for a projectlie only. If a continuously powered craft was moving away < esc v, couldn't it escape? -
@VinCortina@neiltyson@Hayabusa09 good question, has me thinking. My guess is itll be stuck in orbit but wont fall back to Earth as quickly -
@VanillaSkeet
@neiltyson@Hayabusa09 if it tried to establish orbit, then no, it would come down. But what if headed directly away?

@neiltyson What scientists need to realize, escaping Earth's gravity is about resistance, not attraction, Einstein's gravity doesn't existThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
