Talk:1740: Rosetta
- Hairy's Woooo has four o's but Cueball's Wooo has only three o's. Rtanenbaum (talk) 14:41, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
- Armegeddon actually had no kinetic impact. The plot device was a bomb drilled into the surface and detonated. This did deflect the comet by splitting it on half along a fault, causing the two pieces to miss Earth.162.158.75.100 17:04, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
Hasn't the fact of simply being in orbit already caused a change in the trajectory? Does impact make any difference?
- Technically, yes, but the effect is so small it may as well not exist. 108.162.218.239 01:56, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, the gas(?) expelled from Rosetta in order to accelerate it toward the comet leaves the comet/Rosetta systemNotLock (talk) 02:33, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
Question: Why, if the purpose was to collect more data from the comet, was the signal lost, and why are the characters treating this as a good thing? Wouldn't we want a signal from Rosetta in order to transmit the data she gathers?NotLock (talk) 04:01, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
