This must be that string theory u keep hearing about.
Comment on FAA grounds SpaceX after rocket falls over in flames.
werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 4 months agoDon’t worry, I’m thinking about starting my own rocket company so we can go get them!
In our first year, I plan to deploy at least 3 fully functional 1/50th scale prototypes.
That’s really what sets us apart from the rest. Our commitment to 1/50th scale prototypes. I can’t wait, it’s going to be pretty sweet!
So, the plan is to launch a rocket carrying a thin string. The astronauts will reach out to catch said string. Then, they will pull a strong chain with the string so they can tie the space station to the chain. Then they will slowly climb down until reaching atmosphere. At the point they will jump with a parachute or continue climbing down slowly. It’s their choice.

This is not string theory, this is string practical

In theory. But you’re right, we’re gonna try and try hundreds of millions… “millions and millions” (of times) as someone smarter than me once said. But by gally (don’t know what that means) by gally we’ll do it! Even if it doesn’t ever work, we’ll do it! Because with practice comes…?
