Why is the inclination of remaining debris scattered globally at the stuffinspace link, if there were only 2 specific inclinations (only 9 degrees apart) in the original launch? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.240.32.96 (talk) 17:52, 4 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

because variations in drag eventually result in variations in altitude, and then nodal precession happens relatively more quickly at the relatively lower altitude. 135.180.194.177 (talk) 22:25, 5 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Why is it that the article for this page is the exact same text as the one from this: http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=516

What keeps the clumps together ?

What substance keeps the clumps together? Will the binding component disintegrate over time ? Glue ? Napalm ? 51.174.226.245 (talk) 12:14, 12 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

I believe it's just that all the needles are on a similar orbit, so they travel around together. --Falcorian (talk) 19:42, 14 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
I belive it is spot wielding, as this video suggests. - 56independent (talk) 21:38, 26 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

A stub?

Not anymore! I gave it a B-class. Nicely sourced and chock full of information. Thank you. --Neopeius (talk) 05:08, 17 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Project West Ford or Project Westford?

edit

The article is currently inconsistent, when it should consistently use one form or the other. If both are correct, one form should be chosen for the article, and the other should be noted in the "also known as" section at the top. 108.246.204.20 (talk) 05:05, 29 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Did it work?

edit

The article says nothing about whether the 8 MHz radio tests made successful use of this artificial ionosphere or not. Does anyone know? Thanks Tfdavisatsnetnet (talk) 04:11, 14 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
