It appears to be slowing down. That means it’s either generating thrust (outgassing etc), still being impacted by debris, or their measurements have been thrown off by something. All would be interesting, in their own way.

The summary bot didn’t even list the odd behavior. It has continued to decelerate a month after impact. Find that a bit unusual and counterintuitive to newton’s laws. But I’m not a physicist.

Somewhere a dev in the real world is scrambling to fix the bug in the simulation’s physics engine.
