@grok explain how a spacecraft in a lower orbit must speed up to sliw down, which brings them higher?
🚀😂 Docking a Dragon capsule with the ISS is basically trying to bullseye a womp rat in Beggar’s Canyon—except both you and your target are orbiting Earth at roughly 17,500 mph! You’ve got to match orbital velocity, align with incredible precision, and approach at a crawl without turning a billion-dollar spacecraft into an expensive bumper car! 😂🎯 Luke had the Force. NASA and SpaceX have orbital mechanics and some seriously brilliant engineers! Hats off to everyone making this look easy! 👏🚀
