links to some interesting video. I think I had 1 chapter on orbital dynamics in school. good explanation of why it's not really as simple as dropping it in. probably old news to most.

The main thing is to go at night, in order to not get burnt up.

Yeah, super smart, fly a rocket when you can't even see where you're going. That'll end well.

Obviously, you do it on the night of a full moon. Jeez, they really don't teach critical thinking anymore, huh?

Space is mostly empty anyway, so the chances of crashing into anything is pretty low. That’s why space travel is so safe.

That sounds like a great way to slam a rocket into the fucking moon. You know, how almost every Apollo mission ended? I swear we've learned nothing.
